Woodburning Stoves Advice Needed

Hi, I have been reading up on the woodburning stoves threads recently, but I am unsure if I can even proceed.
Firstly, the house is an old red sandstone, with walls about a foot thick, it had fireplaces in all the rooms at one time, but due to a bad modernisation about 15 years ago they have been blocked up/plastered over, except the one in the living room. It currently has a tacky looking electric fire which we do not use. The chimney pots were all removed when the house got a new roof, but I think the chimney breasts would still be there? Even though they can't be seen. Could anyone tell me how to find out. I thought about contacting a chimney sweep, but he might think I am mad since there are no chimneys! I am in central Scotland by the way.
Any advice will be gratefully received
