Here are some pictures from yesterday’s training day at Penicuik House. This fantastic old building is undergoing preservation works to prevent further decline and eventually open up the building to the public. The training day was a looking at buildings archaeology, how this is carried out and to what ends. We also got some tours of the house and saw some of its lovely surviving features. The project has 2 years to run but should be a grate recourse for looking at building development when its dun.
The House
Archaeology Scotland’s Cat Knops not at all worried by the height of the scaffolding as we stand at roof level looking out across the estate.
The Penicuik House Project are working through the structure this is one of the last an un-excavated parts looking pleasingly like a scene from Indian Jones.
