Had a great few days at the Scottish Lime Centre Trust attending my C2 Traditional Masonry Repair course.

Covered brick, ashlar and rubble walling, harling render, hot and cold lime cavity grout, lime wash and stone repair.

Big thanks to the team at Scottish Lime Centre Trust for putting it together. Always useful to build on existing knowledge, pick up different approaches and keep developing traditional building skills.
