As part of Stirling Science Festival
The Engine Shed is Scotland’s building conservation centre, based in Stirling. It serves as a hub for building and conservation professionals and the public, and is part of Historic Environment Scotland, the lead public body set up to investigate, care for and promote Scotland’s historic environment.
At the Engine Shed we use scientific analysis of building materials to help conserve more than 300 properties in our care. Similarly, the Digital Documentation Team uses state of the art digital technology to document our heritage in 3D.
As part of Stirling Science Festival, we will guide you through some of our latest work!
We invite you to join us on a virtual tour of the Engine Shed. In this short film, six members of staff will tell you about their work and the building. You will hear from members of our Technical Outreach and Education Team, Conservation Science team, and our Digital Documentation and Digital Innovation Team.
