| | <strong>MediaWiki has been installed.</strong> |
|
| |
|
| The project is organised by the [[Falkland Society]].
| | Consult the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software. |
| ==Background==
| |
| Falkland is very rich in historic and interesting buildings. Very many of them are Listed Buildings – buildings
| |
| listed by Historic Environment Scotland for their special architectural or historic interest.
| |
| But it's not easy to find out about the buildings or even where they are. Many of the buildings are
| |
| listed in the HES records by names that bear no relation to their current addresses.
| |
| Will you help us document our history and our heritage?
| |
| ==The Survey==
| |
| During August 2020 volunteers from the Falkland Society delivered a leaflet to every listed property
| |
| within the Falkland Conservation area, and other buildings of interest, asking residents to tell us about their house,
| |
| giving details such as any previous names the building was known by, and who lived there before 1970
| |
| (a 50-year cut-off to protect the privacy of current residents).
| |
|
| |
|
| The survey also aims to cover special features of the building, for instance date stone, marriage stone,

| original doors or windows, bread ovens, etc., and any other buildings or structures in the curtilage.
