Canmore was anonline database or index to information on over 320,000 archaeological sites, monuments, and buildings inScotland. It was launched by theRoyal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland in 1997 as theComputerApplication forNationalMOnumentsRecordEnquiries. Canmore provided access to the National Monuments Record of Scotland (NMRS), which was founded in 1966 as an amalgam of the important archive of plans and photographs held by the RCAHMS and theMinistry of Public Building and Works. The NMRS was further developed with material from the Scottish National Buildings Record, the National Art Survey, the Ordnance Survey and the Scottish Office Air Photographs Unit.Historic Environment Scotland had maintained Canmore since 2015. The Canmore website latterly provided access to the National Record of the Historic Environment,[1] formerly theNational Monuments Record of Scotland, and contained around 1.3 million catalogue entries.[2][3] It included marine monuments and designated official wreck sites (those that fall under theProtection of Wrecks Act), such as the wreck ofHMS Pheasant (1916).[4][5]
In May 2025,Historic Environment Scotland announced that Canmore would be switched off on 24 June, along withScran and ScotlandsPlaces. The site now redirects to the replacement platform Trove.[6]
