HES Conservation staff welcome Culture Secretary to 15th century cathedral to showcase traditional skills in action
Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs, visited Dunkeld Cathedral this week to meet Historic Environment Scotland (HES) staff and apprentices, and find out how last month’s announcement of £6.6 million in Scottish Government funding for the conservation of Scotland’s heritage assets is being used to benefit the site. Around £300,000 of the funding package will be invested at Dunkeld, enabling HES to carry out planned conservation works within the next four years, rather than seven.
