Stirling Castle, Stirling, Scotland

Every truss in the hammer beam roof of Stirling Castle had to be made to slightly different dimensions and pitch because of the bow in the west wall

Project background

Stirling Castle’s Great Hall is the largest ever built in Scotland and was intended for great celebrations and occasions of state. When the military left the premises in 1964, the work began to restore it as the designers originally intended in 1500.

Engaged by Historic Scotland, this is one of our largest restoration projects to date. We provided a new rood screen, doors and external staircase, however the rebuilding of the vast mediaeval roof is what really stands out. The images here hardly do justice to the scale and complexity of this beautiful hammer-beam roof structure.
