I dislike the term 'historic environment' because it obscures what the real aim of archaeology should be: to try to understand the people, not their environment. The term seems to try to move the focus away from human beings and towards some kind of dry data gathering excercise.
Besides, as andy bicket has said, what about the prehistoric environment? It would be silly of the IFA to blunder into the 'Historic Scotland' trap.
