Members meet Roz at the Scottish Lime Centre

Members and guests of the Club visited the Scottish Lime Centre Trust on 7 July. It's on the doorstep, it is Nationally and Internationally acclaimed and is in Charlestown. Our very own Charlestown Lime which was favoured by Architects and Builders alike in the 18^th and 19th centuries. This and an amazing number of facts never associated with lime were conveyed during a fascinating and illuminating presentation by Director Roz Artis during the visit. In the past, lime was considered to be a simple building material and soil additive to reduce acidity and clay - but no - 'just five minutes with Roz ensures you will view traditional stone and lime walls in a very different way'. Her passion and knowledge on the restoration of everything from castles to cottages and bridges to lighthouses is akin to a personalised TV documentary and the Centre is highly recommended for a visit.
