Standing Building Recording (31 May 2005 - October 2007)
Addyman Associates (now Addymann Archaeology) were contacted by Simpson and Brown Architects on behalf of Penicuik House Trust to undertake archaeological monitoring and building recording during consolidation and individual repair works at Penicuik House, Midlothian
The main part of these works, associated with the making safe of the mansion wall heads and recording loose carved stones (31 May - 14 June 2005), and the repair to the Chinese bridge abutments (October 2007), were undertaken by Kenneth Macfadyen. Further recording of the Chinese bridge handrail was undertaken to complete the record in March 2007.
