New work. Lochgilphead. Not quite sure what to call it. Essentially scraped back lime harl lined out to imitate the previous Victorian cement work, in the absence of any other evidence. Still to be painted. Main contractor S&C Crawford. Masonry contractor John Reid Construction.

This building is remarkable and well worth a visit. I recorded, restored and recreated interior painted schemes here. If you look very carefully in the room with faux tortoiseshell etc, you might just find a discreet signature and date of my work:

Saddell Castle, Kintyre. Mostly under wraps but the freshly limewashed and harled chimneys and crowstepped gable are now visible. Delighted to be working with @LandmarkTrust @limerich_ed ZM Architecture & William Waugh & Sons on this one…

@ZigguratTen Thanks Corey. Possibly original but needs a closer look (hence the slightly vague description). Hopefully the opportunity will arise to carry out further investigation and analysis

@craigfrew Brilliant image Craig, is the harl original to the construction or a later intervention?

Benholm Kirk, Aberdeenshire. Built 1832. Early lime harl. Thin two-coat application with ‘pink’ pigmented (through coloured) finish coat, later limewashed over in pale yellow to off-white limewash. Visual observations only at this stage.

Assessing fire damaged Bath Stone in conjunction with non-destructive tests and physical measurement of the stones properties. The strength and hardness of the stone is significantly reduced with a slight decrease in density, and increase in porosity and water absorption capacity

The Tyndall Bruce Monument stands on the Blackhill, West Lomond. Built in 1855 by Margaret Tyndall Bruce to honour her late husband, Onesiphorus Tyndall Bruce. The Tyndall Bruces were owners of Falkland Estate at that time
