The incredible restoration of Fairburn Tower in the Scottish Highlands is featured in this week’s Historic House Rescue on More4. channel4.com/programmes/his…

Many congratulations to our fantastic colleague Wissam Nacef on successfully passing her RIBA Part III exams! Since joining the team in 2022 she has worked on a variety of projects including stabilisation and restoration works at the Category A listed Dalmeny House.

We are delighted that the restoration of Fairburn Tower for the @LandmarkTrust has been shortlisted for the 2025 RIAS Awards. The project saw the Category A listed tower transformed from a roofless ruin into high quality holiday accommodation. simpsonandbrown.co.uk/architecture/c…

We have enjoyed 20 years of Burns suppers since we were first appointed by the @N_T_S to undertake a masterplan for the Burns National Heritage Park.  Our work included a new Museum and the sensitive repair of the famous category A-listed cottage where Robert Burns was born.

Scott spotted in Newcastle Cathedral clock. An adventurous day discovering hidden corners during a quinquennial inspection of Newcastle Cathedral. Here, Scott crawled through a tunnel in the tower, popping out in a tiny space between the wall and clock face. @newcastlecathedral

Last night Simpson & Brown hosted the SPAB-STBA Conference 2024 closing reception at York Art Gallery. It was wonderful to see current SPAB fellows and delegates enjoy the work of William Morris, a founder of SPAB, within the galleries that we completed in 2015.

What better day to unveil The Witchery Shop than Halloween! Simpson & Brown have been working with a skilled team of craftspeople to create a unique retail space beside the famous @TheWitcheryEdin hotel and restaurant on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.

Whilst working on the excavation for the Scottish galleries project our in-house archaeologists discovered that the Mound isn't a load of rubbish after all..... theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/o…
