In this episode we continue our conversation with?
Bob Clark, director and curator of the unique Township of Auchindrain in Scotland. We delve into the history of the site and its evolution through the centuries up to modern days. We then look at what can be done to preserve and transmit its memory to future generationsThis conversation with Bob ended up being a bit longer than our usual episode, so we've decided to split the conversation into two parts.

We talk to County Galway Heritage Officer Marie Mannion and Emma Laffey of Skehana & District Heritage Group about the Galway Forged Gates Project, a wonderful project that skillfully reveals the connection between our tangible physical heritage and the intangible traditions, skills, stories and local histories they possess. We learn about the importance of recording our heritage (tangible and intangible) before it is lost and how a packet of biccies can go a long way when talking to our older generations to record their local knowledge.

In this episode we talk to Tom Little, stone worker and letter carver who also designs and runs the Stone Cutting and Stone Masonry Apprenticeship programme at the Kerry College of Further Education and Training. He tells us about the decline and evolution of Irish stone working from the 1960’s to now, where he’s seeing the beginning of a new ‘stone renaissance’ as the craft is better appreciated, in higher demand and is taken up by new generations of passionate and creative workers
Tom would like to acknowledge the vital role SOLAS and the Office of Public Works have played in making the Stonecutting & Stonemasonry Apprenticeship program a reality.
In particular, the OPW's continued support of the program has helped ensure the future of this timeless craft for future generations
If you're interested in learning more about a future in stoneworking check out the apprenticeship programmes run by Kerry College of Further Education and the OPW shared in our shownotes.

In this episode, we chat with Feile Butler. Feile is an architect who works in the conservation of vernacular buildings, as well as specialising in natural building materials, particuarly earth and mud wall buildings.
In today's epsiode, we had a lovely chat about the beauty and simplicity of mud and stone vernacular buildings, and how they are inextricably linked to us and the landscape around us.

In this episode, we chat with Feidhlim Harty. Feidhlim is an environmental consultant based in County Clare.
In today's chat, we look at some sustainable solutions for treating waste water from rural domestic buildings, and chat about Feidhlim’s own experiences renovating a rural vernacular cottage. This episode will be of interest to anyone who is hoping to renovate a vernacular building that doesn’t currently have any services.
