Stirling Building Stone Survey = a new project for SLHS

6/6/2016

This summer, Stirling Local History Society is embarking on a new project to identify the stone used in Stirling's buildings and trace them back to their source quarries. We will be working with Scotland's Urban Past and the British Geological Survey. It will involve survey work and also archival research.
But you don't need to be an expert on buildings or historical research to take part. There are more details on the Projects page of the this website. The aim is to build towards a fuller understanding of how Stirling has come to look the way it does - how that relates to stone supplies and transport, for example.
We need volunteers (you don't need to be a member) So, if you are interested you can contact the society by email ([email protected]) or Stephen Digney ([email protected]).
