This template is used to provide a link to the Canmore online database of Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment (http://canmore.org.uk/) for a specified monument record in Scotland. Formerly maintained by RCAHMS, since 2015 it is maintained by Historic Environment Scotland.

The database record contains nearly 320,000 records on buildings, archaeological, industrial and maritime sites across Scotland.

  • postscript: Controls the closing punctuation for the citation. Defaults to a period (.); for no terminating punctuation set to |postscript=none
