That the Parliament congratulates the Edinburgh Traditional Building Forum on delivering the ninth Edinburgh Traditional Building Festival in August 2021, which focussed on sustainability of traditional buildings; recognises the efforts of the forum to celebrate Edinburgh’s traditional buildings, bringing together experts with the wider public online, in order to demonstrate knowledge and skills across a whole spectrum of traditional construction skills; understands that the festival was a collaboration between the National Federation of Roofing Contractors, Historic Environment Scotland, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), the Built Environment Forum Scotland, the Stone Federation Great Britain, the British Geological Survey, Federation of Master Builders, Grand Bequest and City of Edinburgh Council Shared Repairs Service; believes that this collaborative approach plays a vital role in widening the public’s understanding of the importance of maintaining Scotland’s traditional buildings with the right knowledge and skills, and thanks each of the organisations for their ongoing efforts to protect and maintain Scotland’s historic built environment.
