There are __ category A listed buildings in Aberdeen City. In the United Kingdom, the term listed building refers to a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance; category A structures are those considered to be "buildings of national or international importance, either architectural or historic, or fine little-altered examples of some particular period, style or building type".[1] In Scotland, the authority for listing under the Planning Town and Country Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997[2] rests with Historic Scotland, an executive agency of the Scottish Government.[3]
