HES & The Engine Shed – Lime Mortar: Principles and Practices

18th Feb, 2025
Engine Shed, Stirling

Lime is a traditional bedding, pointing and finishing material in Scotland's historic built environment. These three morning talks will start with the basic principles of processing raw limestone or shells into mortar and plaster. We will also share current best practice and the innovative techniques used to identify (and replicate) parts for conservation and repair projects. A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions and explore the Engine Shed. In the afternoon, the speakers will lead a walking tour around Stirling's Old Town to discuss a wide range of conservation issues.
