Kilian, Thanks for your quick answer! I agree, and I think that you can only succeed if the terms are explained at the local level. So maybe "Listed Building (Scotland)" would be the best article to create here. I myself had trouble when I tried to create lists for Belgium and the term "Beschermd erfgoed" was considered inappropriate for anything in Wallonia because it is officially French.
