Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is collaborating with the Institute of Conservation (Icon) and various partners to establish a new risk register aimed at identifying traditional building and heritage skills that are in danger of vanishing. This initiative will result in the creation of the Heritage Skills At Risk Register, which will facilitate the identification, evaluation, and categorization of skills including thatching, traditional stained and leaded glass production, architectural blacksmithing, and stonemasonry. The Heritage Skills At Risk Register has been developed by HES and Icon to initiate a national dialogue regarding the challenges associated with heritage skills.
