to our listing procedures since the restructuring of the Inspectorate in January 2006. The Inspectorate continued to support colleagues in Policy Group on a number of programmes, most prominent of which was the series of Scottish Historic Environment Policy documents (SHEPs), and a number of other agency-wide issues such as equalities, planning and climate change. 2007-2008 saw a significant growth in Ancient Monuments Grants awarded by the archaeology grants team, rising from an initial allocation of £250,000 to £446,958. In addition, £1,591,875 of grants was allocated to archaeological excavation and survey projects. Work has continued in support of trunk road archaeology, and the M80 and M74 archaeology projects have been successfully concluded. A significant block of work involves providing advice assisting Scheduling Team at work at a prehistoric standing stone, eastern Dumfries and Galloway. Scottish towns with CARS funding (Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme), and advising the Agency’s Investment and Projects Team, as well as external bodies such as the Heritage Lottery Fund. The first stage and draft second stage reports of a grants investment review have been prepared, and the review will be completed in the coming year. In 2007-08 the Collections team was transferred to Properties in Care, with whom they routinely interact more intensively, but the Inspectorate continues to work closely with them.
