Here is a list of some unusual buildings which Historic Scotland has decided to "list" as heritage buildings. These may be of interest to architects and persons interested in design;

• Dounreay Nuclear Power Station, Caithness. The dome is of particular interest.
• Lion Chambers, Glasgow. One of the early buildings to be constructed from lightweight reinforced concrete.
• Pillar box in Hyndland Road, Glasgow. One of only 161 such pillarboxes installed during the short lived reign of Edward VIII.
• St. Peter's College, Cardross, Dunbartonshire. A Roman Catholic Seminary which closed in 1980.
• The Bookie's Tower at Lanark Racecourse.
• The Glasgow College of Building and Printing. This dates from the 1960s.
