The Old Schoolhouse at Logie in Angus, is an 18th century mudwall building, saved from demolition and restored as a new home by the National Trust for Scotland's Little Houses Scheme.
Grade 'A' Listed, as a rare example of vernacular earth construction; the partially collapsed building was carefully resored in a year long project.
Specialist craftspeople worked with local contractors to reinstate the building's historic charachter, while ensuring a modern quality of facilities. During the repairs, a series of public masterclasses and workshops were organised to increase appreciation of this strong local tradition.
Arc advised the NTS from the earliest stages of the project, acted as lead consultant and co-rdinated the masterclasses.The project has won the prestigous Europa Nostra Prize, the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage.
