About The Engine Shed Open Days
It’s fitting that the home of Scotland’s first dedicated building conservation centre itself uses traditional materials in a contemporary way.
The Engine Shed building, used as a goods transfer shed, was built sometime between 1896 and 1913. The exact details of its construction were subject to an information blackout, and are still unknown, as it was part of an important military complex. The strategic base on the banks of the River Forth was a key resource for the army in the run up to and during both World Wars.
We are now a dynamic hub of digital innovation, heritage science, and an accredited training centre.
Join us to discover what's inside this Easter and learn about the history of the Engine Shed, how it was made using traditional materials in a contemporary way and how we recycled many other materials during the restoration.
Our Open Days are runnings on two days:
Wednesday 3 April (10am-12 noon) and (1pm-3pm)
Tuesday 9 April (10am-12 noon) and (1pm-3pm)
This is a free event but please book tickets in advance
