First Ever Historic Scotland Summer School 2010 In August 2010 Historic Scotland held its first ever residential summer school. The week long course was aimed at students studying a range of disciplines from architecture and planning to building surveying and engineering. Undergraduates from across Scotland were invited to apply for a place on the course and the successful candidates received an Award Certificate on completion of the course. The summer school was designed to provide undergraduate students, who would otherwise have little opportunity to learn about traditional buildings, with an introduction to maintenance and repair approaches and techniques for such structures. Based at the Historic Scotland depot in Stirling throughout the week, the students took part in sessions on traditional materials such as stone, slate and iron as well as current issues including energy efficiency in traditional buildings. The students also had the opportunity to visit and take part in live projects including lime washing of the Great Hall at Stirling Castle and to attend practical sessions in masonry pointing and lead work. HS Chief Executive, Ruth Parsons, presents certificates to participants for traditional buildings that would remain with them for the rest of their lives. David Mitchell, Director of Historic Scotland’s Conservation Group said that “It is important that we get the opportunity to work with the next generation of building professionals and events such as these are an important platform to do so. “Ultimately we want to give undergraduates the opportunity to learn about Scotland’s rich traditional building stock in an engaging, informative way. Students enjoying a sunny practical training session Whilst there are many excellent courses running throughout Scotland in the building sector, this course enabled Historic Scotland to reach out to those who enter the field with little experience of traditional buildings and to extend their employability. It was also intended to give the students the opportunity to hear about some of the challenges and opportunities facing the sector – and hopefully develop a passion “Skills are the lifeblood of our industry and events like these provide a great opportunity to demonstrate firsthand the fantastic work that it going on to care and protect our built heritage.” Ali Davey Head of Technical Outreach & Education Historic Scotland ali.davey@scotland.gsi.gov.uk 42 FOCUS | Historic Scotland 2011

The benefits of a local sourcing of stone are discussed and options for further study. Available to download only http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/technicalpapers Technical Paper 8 This paper models the thermal upgrades at one of FREE Conservation Groups pilot sites – looking at present modelled energy performance against post intervention performance. It considers the differences between the various evaluations systems and why these might occur as well as comment on the suitability of the Energy Performance Certificate when used in traditionally constructed buildings.
