Most local authorities in Scotland have archaeological advisors who fulfill a number of roles. They usually have a responsibility to monitor planning applications and other proposed developments within their area. If archaeological work goes ahead, they often monitor that work. Many of the advisors also hold Sites and Monuments Records, and many of these can be consulted by the public.
