Helensburgh Outdoor Museum - Conservation Session 2 - Granite Plinths

Follow the experts as they clean and polish the granite so the engravings can be bought back to life and even have a go yourself!

This session will focus on the granite plinths on which the exhibits stand. These granite plinths need some conservation work to bring them back to life. Follow the experts as they clean and polish the granite so the engravings can be bought back to life and even have a go at cleaning and treating them yourself!

There will be plenty of opportunity to view the work of the experts and ask questions.

Local historian Stewart Noble will also give a short talk on Helensburgh, the square’s history and some of the heritage represented in the museum.

The session will take place outside, in the Outdoor Museum in Colquhoun Square. Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather and bring waterproofs and sunscreen.
