So the wood has been picked up from Oatridge College, many thanks to Alan from Transition Linlithgow for helping us out with the wood which is now packed into Claire's van and on its way to Todmorden. When it returns it will no longer be the cut offs from the Linlithgow courtyard structure but a medieval door. Some of the wood is being used by Galgael which is keeping boat building alive in Glasgow and supporting the unemployed, check out this link, what a great project! http://local.stv.tv/glasgow/magazine/204348-galgael-supports-the-unemployed-and-keeps-glasgow-craftmanship-alive/It's good to see that something extravagant is being used in creative and preserving ways. Extra massive thanks to Claire, you are a legend in your own time!!!! We even managed a walk up Binny Craig. Fantastic views of the Forth, Clackmannanshire (look aboot ye!), Lothian, Falkirk and, just about, through the haar the wee Kingdom of Fife.
For more information on what is happening with the wood follow this link from its assemblage, deconstuction and it planned future uses.
