Skibo Castle Skibo castle DESALINATION TRIAL WITH WESTOX COCOON ON SANDSTONE Kevin Bannerman | 2018-08 www.westox-nordic.se A brief history of Skibo castle. Skibo Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Sgìobail) is located to the west of Dornoch in the Highland county of Sutherland, Scotland overlooking the Dornoch Firth. Although largely of the 19th century, and early 20th century, when it was the home of industrialist Andrew Carnegie, its origins go back much earlier. The first record of Skibo Castle is a charter from 1211. From its early history, the castle was a residence of the Bishops of Caithness. Skibo Castle remained the residence of subsequent bishops until 1545, when the estate was, as a tactical measure by the church, given to John Gray in order to reinforce its alliance with a powerful family as the threat of a Protestant uprising spread towards the north. It is currently operating as The Carnegie Club, a members-only residential club offering members and their guest’s accommodation in the castle or estate lodges, a private links golf course and a range of activities including clay pigeon shooting, tennis and horse riding. Skibo castle was built on a foundation of sandstone. Over the centuries the castles sand stone foundation has been exposed to the elements with wetting & drying cycles from lateral & rising moisture, resulting in exfoliation of the sandstone. The caretaker of the castle Mr. Gary Gruber has been in contact with several heritage organizations for example BGS (British Geological Survey) SLCT (Scottish Lime Centre Trust) and HES (Historic Environment Scotland – formerly Historic Scotland) to solve the problem before he got in touch with Westox and Mr. Kevin Bannerman. After a short survey on the site it was felt that the problem was caused by harmful soluble salts, which was soon confirmed after an analysis of samples taken from the stone, a trial was then arranged to verify if the harmful salts could be removed with a poultice treatment on one of the sandstone blocks. The product to be used named Westox cocoon originated in Sydney Australia, an invention by Barrie Cooper, the managing director of Westox building products. Three samples were taken at three different depths to be sent to a laboratory to be analyzed by Ion chromatography. On the following pages the results before and after desalination can be seen. www.westox-nordic.se www.westox-nordic.se E S T O B U I L D I N G P R O D U C T S W X ABN.17 001 446 037 16 Frost Road, Campbelltown NSW 2560 Sydney Australia Tel. +612 4628 5010 Fax +612 4628 5020 Certificate and report of salt analysis Laboratory Report 7112 7113 7114 Report Date 8/8/2018 Number The following report contains the percentage weight of cat ions and an ions Analysis shown to the weight of the sample.

The type of salts found is explained later in this report. The trial commenced with Mr. Bannerman applying the Westox cocoon on the selected area immediately over the area where the initial sampling was carried out. The cocoon was left on the trial area covered with a temporary shelter to prevent washing off by rain, once dry the temporary covers can be removed. Each application was left for a dwell time of 3 weeks with samples being taken before removal of the first application and again following removal of the second application. All samples were taken within a 50mm radius of the initial drill site. The samples taken were clearly labeled in small plastic bags and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The results of the second application are displayed on the following pages along with a report explaining the findings based on past experience.

Chemist. B.App Sc. B.Sc. The analysis shows that the chloride and nitrate contents have been lowered to well below the “safe level” of 0.2% of total an-ion salt by weight, The Sulphates however have only reduced by approximately 30%. It is probable that the sulphates are an integral part of the stone or from the cement joints and as Calcium Sulphate (Gypsum) is only sparingly soluble in water the solubility increases with temperature up to 40 degrees C and then decreases again. Although there has been unusally high temperatures in Scotland during the year it is possible the temperatures did not reach 36 to 40 degrees C which would assist in the removal of sulphates.

  • Dornoch Firth Campus December 2019
    Hello As we fast approach the Christmas break we would like to take a little time to reflect on the successes and achievements of our whole school community. Many of our children, young people and colleagues have received recognition for their creativity and hard work. A special congratulations should be made to Dr Allan for his international work. Well done also to Joan Murray at Bonar Bridge Primary who received Public Servant of the Year award, and also to Howard Tolliday for his recent recognition in the UK Salters' National Awards for Science Technicians. Finally, I would also like to extend a special thank you to our brilliant librarian, Fiona Macleod, who is always looking for new and creative ways of engaging children and young people in reading. The atmosphere in the library is wonderful and it is great to see so many young people interested in books. Fiona’s work has been complemented by our primary school teachers who have been presenting lively and engaging assemblies over the last few months. The children are developing their confidence in public speaking and this will support their studies and aspirations later in their school and career pathways. It was great to see so many of you at the recent family event and we welcome your feedback on how we can continue to develop events and activities which support our partnership and learning at home. If you are interested in presenting or running an event please do not hesitate to contact us. In S3, we hope to meet many of you on Tuesday 3 December during our Learner Journey Review Event which will run from 9.00 am until 7.00 pm.

  • Sunderland Local Plan
    Sutherland Local Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment Scoping Report April 2006 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The purpose of this Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) scoping report is to set out sufficient information on the Sutherland Local Plan to enable the Consultation Authorities to form a view on the consultation periods and the scope and level of detail that will be appropriate for the environmental report. 1.2 This report has been prepared in accordance with Regulation 17 of the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes (Scotland) Regulations 2004. 1.3 The Highland Council is also preparing Local Plans for the Skye and Lochalsh and Lochaber areas. Separate scoping reports have been prepared for these plans, but it is intended that as far as possible, a consistent approach is taken both to the preparation of the plans and to the methodology and format of the strategic environmental assessment. 1.4 The Highland Council’s approach to carrying out the Strategic Environmental Assessment is based on the methodology developed whilst preparing the retrospective SEA for the Wester Ross Local Plan, in partnership with the Consultation Authorities. In addition to carrying out the SEA, The Council will also carry out a sustainability appraisal of the Local Plan, to balance environmental considerations with social and economic objectives. 1.5 For further information on the Sutherland Local Plan, please contact Brian Mackenzie on 01463 702276 ([email protected]) or Katie Briggs on 01463 702271 ([email protected]). 2. KEY FACTS Sutherland Local Plan 2.1 The Sutherland Local Plan area (see Map) extends over 6,071 square kilometres and is an area of high quality natural environment and diverse historical background.
