Generational repairs to former conventual buildings, including original C15 timber scissor-braced truss roof, in close consultation with Historic Scotland, for owners. The historic roof trusses were repaired with modern timber of dimensions to match the historic timbers with mortice and tenon pegged joints to respect the original configuration. Where it was not possible to insert whole lengths of new timbers without dismantling the roof, new timbers were spliced to allow them to be offered into the original mortices.
