Audrey Dakin, project officer at the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust, discusses the Trust’s fundraising campaign to transform Riddle’s Court into The Patrick Geddes Centre for Learning and Conservation. So far, £5m has been raised, but there’s still a further £600,000 to go. The aim is to create a resource centre that is based on the educational ethos evolved from Sir Patrick Geddes Vivendo Discimus – By Living We Learn.
As well as receiving monetary donations, the Trust has also received a beautiful paper sculpture from the anonymous sculptor, who has been creating intricate paper works since 2011.
