text: The [https://www.scotlime.org Scottish Lime Centre Trust] (SLCT) was established in 1994 by a pioneer in the re-introduction of lime in building repairs in Scotland, Pat Gibbons (Mrs Patricia). She was the founder and first Director, an architect with many years experience of building conservation in Scotland. Previously she had been a Senior Architect with Historic Scotland. The Director since 2005 is Roz Artis.  Housed in an historic Charlestown building, the former Estate workshop, the Centre enjoys an international reputation for its work in promoting and training in the use of lime in building.
  The aims and objectives of the Trust are to:
  * Promote for the public benefit the appropriate repair of Scotland's traditional and historic buildings
  * Advance education through the provision of advice, training and practical experience in the use of lime for the repair and conservation of such buildings
  * Promote and further the preservation and development of Scottish building traditional, crafts and skills.
