The Government has now submitted seven candidates to join this list, including the Zenith of Iron Age Shetland, a collection of three ancient settlements that date back thousands of years, and the Flow Country, a large area of peatland in the north of Scotland.

英國政府現已提交瞭七處候選景點，其中包括鐵器時代設得蘭天頂遺址，它是一個由三個可追溯到數千年前的古老定居點構成的集群遺址，還包括弗羅濕地區，它是蘇格蘭北部的一大片泥炭地。

If successful, they will join 33 other UK-based heritage sites, including Stonehenge and Hadrian’s Wall and receive legal protection and preservation funding.

如果申遺成功，這些景點將與巨石陣和哈德良長城等33處位於英國的世界遺產一起獲得法律保護和維護資金。

The submissions form part of a tentative list published around every ten years by the UK Government and also sees applications for a bird migratory route, which includes part of the north and east of England known as the east Atlantic flyway, the Gracehill Moravian Church settlement in Northern Ireland, and marine parks in the British overseas territory of the Cayman Islands.
