Following on from last week's post on Historic Environment Scotland's audit of at-risk Angus flagstone roofs, here's a recent example of that heritage skill and material in practice.
Denfind Stone completed roof repairs at St Athernase Church in Leuchars, a historic listed building, using 20mm thick Carmyllie Stone Slates.
As the only source of Carmyllie stone slates in the world, and our stone is a direct match for the original material used on this and other historic buildings, allowing repairs to be carried out with the correct traditional roofing stone rather than a substitute.
The project was designed by Nicoll Russell Studios and built by G Brown Stonemasons.
As the audit made clear, the supply of authentic material is critical to keeping roofs like this standing. Denfind Stone remains committed to supporting that work.
