| Description: | Sample of Scotch Buff sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a cut surface with an orange-buff colour. This sandstone is one of a number of stone types used for repairing buildings in Edinburgh. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 59. For repair of masonry buildings it is important to identify the original existing stone prior to repairs, if necessary using expertise and specialist laboratories. It is important to obtain the closest possible match as replacement stone will have different characteristics. Replacement sandstone is often selected on previous reputation and appearance, although properties of stone from different beds within a quarry can vary considerably. It should compare as closely as possible with the original in terms of composition and colour, and porosity should always be greater and never less. |
