Leaving a mark on History “These masons’ marks are of peculiar interest, and form a special branch of study, at present but little understood.” (Mylne 1893, 7)

 

About Us

The Scottish Stonemasons Marks Research Project is investigating and recording the masons’ marks, beginning with the early medieval castles and churches of Scotland. Focusing on buildings begun between 1100 and 1300, we are recording marks and looking at distribution patterns both within individual buildings, and across Scotland, to identify the size and mobility of this highly skilled workforce.
