SUMMARY:Building Scotland
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition celebrating 14 of Scotland’s traditional building materials \nThis touring exhibition celebrates fourteen individual building materials. Many\, such as stone and timber\, have been used since earliest human habitation in Scotland. Others\, such as pantiles and iron\, came into general use in more recent times. \nFor the majority of our traditionally constructed buildings it is the use of these materials\, in combination with one another\, that has created the beautiful and diverse nature of Scotland’s build heritage: stone\, lime and pantiles come together to form distinctive buildings in our east coast towns and villages; timber\, clay\, stone and thatch are combined to form the blackhouses so distinctive of the Western Isles. \nIt is hoped that this exhibition\, based on the “Building Scotland” book\, will give an insight into the diverse materials that have literally been the building blocks of our traditional villages and cities throughout Scotland \n
