The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to protect and preserve such sites through an international treaty called the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, drawn up in 1972 Scottish Ministers identify and put forward sites to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport for nomination. Scotland currently has five cultural World Heritage Sites. Once a World Heritage Site is inscribed, under the Convention, member states have a duty to protect, conserve and present such sites for future generations. Sites in Scotland inscribed on the World Heritage List: \u2022 The Antonine Wall \u2022 Edinburgh Old and New Towns \u2022 New Lanark \u2022 The Heart of Neolithic Orkney \u2022 St Kilda World Heritage Site", "summary": "", "title": "World Heritage Sites", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "", "licenseInfo": "" }
