@Ihbcscotland@HeritageFundSCO@EastAyrshire Yes. We arrived, I looked at a couple of buildings, some joinery colours, some leadwork details and said "there has been a grant scheme here." Found the THI plaque to the project.

@AberdeenShop @22craftsman @RobertGordonUni Yes. It's the cast iron fountain in Dumfries repaired by Lost Art 👍 the speaker for the second week of the talks.
