Doors Open

No photos today apart from a rushed snap as I left Riddles Court after a very interesting talk about the stones used to build Edinburgh, and the quarries they were cut from.

The problem now is that so many of the quarries have been closed and we are importing poor quality alternatives from ..... CHINA! This means that buildings are not being repaired or are being done but badly, and the stock is deteriorating.

Talk given by an enthusiastic Spanish geologist of 13 years residence here, and as part of the preparations for the upcoming Doors Open weekend.
