One of the many joys of working in architecture is to be able to visit places all over Scotland and the UK.  Yesterday, some of the BTA team enjoyed one of those beautifully sunny days out basking in the rich fishing heritage of one of our projects and the incredibly expressive patina of the B-listed cottages on the harbour.   This seemingly random scene is the result of years of deliberate and thoughtful decisions, based on a very careful understanding of the place and a tested understanding of how rocks, plants and materials of all kinds behave.
