NEARLY £35,000 has been given to a group helping ensure historic parts of Dunbar will live into the future.
The Ridge Foundations CIC was awarded £34,000 by Historic Environment Scotland (HES), with the money going to a project to deliver traditional skills training and to help with repairs to historic buildings in Dunbar Conservation Area.
The money will be used to train two modern apprentices and two pre-apprenticeship trainees in traditional skills, specifically on derelict historic buildings and walls.
In addition, the training programme will deliver training to 30 local school pupils across East Lothian to provide them with a National 4 Construction Craft Technician SQA qualification.
