Hi-Scot Survey Questionnaire
Scotland is full of beautiful stone homes, historic streets, and listed buildings that tell our story. But how do we protect that heritage while also tackling climate change? The Hi-Scot Project is exploring how solar panels can be thoughtfully integrated into historic buildings without losing their architectural integrity. We want to hear from you. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, community member, or simply care about Scotland’s future, your views matter.
The survey takes just 3–4 minutes.

Together, we can shape solutions that respect our past while powering our future. Let’s make heritage part of Scotland’s clean energy journey.
