About the exhibition

Scotland’s traditionally built environment is one of her most unique and cherished features. It is something which both draws visitors from around the world to our country and gives her inhabitants a sense of place and identity.

This exhibition celebrates the raw materials which have been employed in forming our traditional buildings.

In total 14 different materials are examined including stone, timber, iron, clay and slate.
