Scotland has a long and varied history, and so to do our buildings.
From castles, to churches, Victorian tenements and towers there's thousands of buildings across the country with many a story to tell.
However, some are at risk of being lost forever as they appear on the Buildings at Risk register from Historic Environment Scotland .
There's currently over 2,300 building across Scotland deemed 'at risk'. This means there's a concern for the building which has fallen into a state of disrepair.
Here's four properties at risk of being lost forever.
Thornlie Parish Church and Hall, Wishaw
This Gothic church sits on West Thornlie Street in the town and has a three-stage tower and spire.
The sandstone building dates back to 1876, while the hall is dated 1899.
It was design by architect David Thomson, according to Historic Scotland. The building has been empty for some time before 2014. In 2015 planning permission was sought to put houses on the site.
St Andrew's Cathedral Towers, Dumfries
The two Roman towers are free standing and the remains of a Cathedral which burnt down in 1961.
Both towers were built in 1843 and are now in a poor condition with damp and vegetation growing, according to Historic Scotland.
The building stands on Shakespeare Street in Dumfries.
Glenbarr Abbey, Glenbarr
The house is dated to be built around the 18th century with over two storeys.
The building is of fair risk as there's widespread water penetration throughout with damage to plasterwork as a result. At a 2018 inspection the damp in the masonry is the main cause for concern.
Mausoleum keeper's cottage, Hamilton
The former keepers' cottage is in a state of disrepair, in very poor condition. There are large holes in the rook with joists rotten in places.
The building dates from 1854 and is on the site of Hamilton Mausoleum. The original doors and windows appear to be missing and are currently boarded up.
And sadly the former cottage is suffering from vandalism, according to reports.
