IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly will open The Fifth Edinburgh Traditional Building Festival at Acheson House, Edinburgh, on Tuesday 23 August, a 5-day training and profile-raising event led by the The Scottish Traditional Building Forum (STBF) that sits within Edinburgh’s Festival Fringe programme.

The Scottish Traditional Building Forum is made up of a network of local traditional building forums with representatives across the supply chain. The forums have local representation who work together to raise the profile of specific issues relating to traditional buildings and building practices and work together to address these.
