Abstract
Scotland has a rich stone-built heritage, mostly constructed from sandstone and granite, dating from the Middle Ages until the present day. There is evidence that many buildings are damaged due to weathering processes that have been exacerbated by previous aggressive stone cleaning. Separating natural and man-made damage, due to cleaning interventions is very difficult. Decay is caused by a combination of material properties that can be altered by cleaning and other interventions and the effects of a changing environment
