Should we preserve traditional skills?

What a wonderful members’ visit we had to the Verdant Works in Dundee on 27th May.
(for those who have never been it is well worth a visit!)
To see a Boulton & Watt engine operate so majestically was quite a thrill and to hear about the efforts required to install such a precious 200 year old machine in a 200 year old building was fascinating.
