Price of Admission: Sustainable Economic Models for Scotland's Built Heritage, sponsored by Curtins

Should we have a right to access heritage, much as we have a right to roam? And do we ignore the economic case for restoration at our peril, weighing short-term returns against long-term benefit? From churches losing public access to the buildings we cannot afford to keep. Our speakers approach the topic from conservation, politics and technical research.
