Stone, Scotland’s preeminent building material. We will share information on developments for its conservation and future use.
About this Event

Stone has been used to create Scotland's historic built environment for thousands of years. These three morning talks will introduce you to the wide range of stone used in Scotland and share current best practice in stone repairs. We will also review innovative methods of identifying and procuring new stone for conservation and newbuild projects.

A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions and explore the Engine Shed.

For those who cannot join us in person, a virtual ticket is available.

You will:

1. Learn how the physical characteristics and availability of natural stone influenced the design and construction of Scotland’s historic built environment from the earliest times to the present.
