Abstract
In April 1992 Scottish Natural Heritage was created, marking the introduction of a new 'integrated* conservation policy for Scotland more 'sensitive* than hitherto concerning the needs of the country and its people. It grew out of the merger of the Countryside Commission for Scotland (Countryside Commission for Scotland), with its attendant duties regarding the protection of 'natural beauty' (the landscape) and the amenity thereof, and the controversial Nature Conservancy Council in Scotland, responsible for nature conservation. Helping develop this new policy, the Government provided for two new 'conceptual' conservation tools. First , the 'sustainability' concept was to help 'change attitudes to the environment* (Scottish Office Development Department [SODD] 1990, p. I), creating the right conditions for its protection and, second, a new designation that brought together landscape and nature conservation concerns was to be devised a designation which the former Nature Conservancy Council in Scotland or the Countryside Commission for Scotland had been able to use during their existence. It was to be called the Natural Heritage Area.
