Scotland’s traditional buildings are one of the country’s most unique and cherished features. These buildings both draw visitors from around the world and create a sense of place and identity for the people that live in Scotland. This series of fourteen short films celebrates the raw materials which were used to create Scotland’s traditional buildings - from stone and slate, to earth, glass and iron. This series accompanies a publication of the same title, Building Scotland, launched in March 2010 by Minister for Culture Fiona Hyslop. A Circa Media Production for Historic Scotland. Edited and designed by Andrew McGregor.
