Event Details
Scotland’s traditional buildings must be carefully assessed and appropriately retrofitted to mitigate the potential damage of climate change to their historic fabric and cultural significance.
Join us as we delve into aspects of climate change policy, explore theoretical and practical solutions that are making a difference, and discuss how we can protect Scotland’s assets for the future.
A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions and explore the Engine Shed.
Learning outcomes
You will:
- Understand the emerging threats to Scotland’s historic built environment stemming from increased rainfall, increasing temperatures, and rising sea levels.
- Learn about how HES (and Scotland as a whole) aims to combat the immediate effects of climate change at both policy and practical levels.
- Identify the most immediate and damaging ways Scotland’s traditional buildings are affected by a changing climate and the best measures to be taken to address this challenge.
Who should attend?
We encourage graduates, heritage professionals and building practitioners from all disciplines interested in developing their knowledge and practice in traditional buildings to consider attending. We welcome anyone responsible for a traditional building or with an interest in the broader aspects of building conservation in Scotland.

Join us for an afternoon exploring sustainable travel with Perth Theatre and Concert Hall, artist Helen McCrorie and Creative Carbon Scotland.
We all know that changing how we travel is a major part of tackling climate change. But change can be tricky. This creative event will be an opportunity to learn about how you can use more low carbon travel and share your views on what needs to be done locally to support better sustainable transport. Come along and get involved!
This free and accessible drop-in event is open to people of all ages.
– Hear from invited experts and activists, including Margaret Roy of Perth and Kinross Council, and artist and campaigner Ellie Harrison, who will be discussing the future of sustainable travel in Perth & Kinross and Tayside, with a focus on buses and community transport, followed by a roundtable discussion and Q & A;
– View an exhibition of creative work exploring bus travel, its benefits, and barriers to using the bus, produced by Perth Theatre and Concert Hall audiences and at Climate Cafés around Perth & Kinross, with artist Helen McCrorie;
– Watch a screening of a new film exploring buses for communities, by Helen McCrorie in collaboration with Craigie Choir;
– Enjoy music provided by Kinross Kacophony Orchestra;
– Visit an exhibition on a converted bus! We have invited the Travelling Gallery to park on the Plaza, with their current exhibition on the theme of care;
– Enjoy interactive photo opportunities with theatre props provided by Pitlochry Festival Theatre.
This event is part of the Transforming Audience Travel Through Art project, with Creative Carbon Scotland, and funded by Paths for All’s Smarter Choices Smarter Places programme.

Event Details
Get your popcorn ready, and book a place at our FREE online screening and discussion of Everyday Rebellion, this weekend, from the comfort of your own home.
Everyday Rebellion is a moving and playful film celebrating the triumph of creativity over repression. Filmed in locations including London, Ukraine, Syria, the USA, Iran, and Spain, the award-winning documentary hails the revolutionary spirit of peaceful protest, featuring clowns, musicians, ping pong players, and more, and reminding us that power must always give way to humanity.
Guided by evidence that non-violence is twice as effective as violence in creating change, millions of people are dropping their fists and adopting peaceful tactics to resist blind power: everywhere from boardrooms to market squares. Everyday Rebellion vividly demonstrates that the future of civil disobedience has never looked brighter.
The aim of Humanist Society Scotland’s Take One Action Film Club is to empower our community by screening a specially curated programme of world-changing films, and hosting follow-on discussions and activities to increase creative, impactful action for a fairer and more sustainable world.

The climate emergency can often make us feel alone and isolated. We can sometimes feel powerless in the face of the work that needs to be done.
The aim of the Youth Climate Wellbeing Café is to build a community of like-minded individuals that can come together to engage in informal conversations about climate change, the environment, and their mental wellbeing.
The youth workers create a positive and supportive working environment for everyone who attends the events so the attendees can feel safe to share ideas, learn, discuss climate ideas, and connect with others.
Light refreshments provided.

Event Details
LINK and our members exist to act on behalf of all our members – those members of the public who join our member bodies – and on behalf of future generations. We are communities of interest for Scotland’s environment. However, there is an emergent gap in how we work with local communities of place. How we do that is the subject of the 2023 Congress.
Recent environmental legislative proposals, including HPMAs, have been hijacked by industry and others, who have been much more effective at communicating with local communities of place and who hear less from us, as communities of interest. If we are to make headway on those environmental policies that we know will restore and conserve Scotland’s environment for people today and in the future, working with communities of place is going to be vital in achieving success.
In the afternoon session, we have two keynote talks from other networks, Community Land Scotland and Coastal Community Network, whose members are communities of place. This is followed by a choice of three workshop presentations led by LINK member bodies and others, themed around working with communities of place and exploring successes, lessons learnt and opportunities for collaboration. We will discover and discuss ways of working with local communities and be inspired to take new approaches. We will also explore opportunities for funded projects to work with communities of place and future environmentalists. You will be able to choose your workshop on arrival.
Workshop 1: Mike Daniels, Head of Policy and Kevin Lelland, Director of Development and
Workshop 2: Elouise Dalziel, Living Seas Policy & Engagement Officer: Supporting community voices in marine policy
Workshop 3: Helen McLachlan, Head of Marine Policy RSPB Scotland with Julie Stoneman, Saving Scotland’s Rainforest Project Manager Changing the marine conversation and learning from experience – placing coastal stakeholders at the heart of enhanced marine protections.
During the afternoon, Leigh, our Nature for All EDI Officer and colleagues from Ethnic Minority Environmental Network will be on hand to answer any queries relating to EDI or about the project.
In the evening, we’ll hear from Dr Richard Dixon, one of LINK’s Honorary Fellows, who will speak to us over dinner, with his experience of achieving policy change and the tactics that work, including engaging local communities and amplifying their voices. You will receive a form about your menu choices, and any access requirements, by email.

Event Details
What is the film about?
Can one footprint imprint on our collective consciousness and create change?
A walk, a pilgrimage, an odyssey for the planet. Five hundred miles from London to Glasgow COP26: Eight weeks, 56 days and more than 56 host organisations, over a thousand walkers and thirty rolls of 16mm celluloid film.
The Camino to COP26 was a people’s walk carrying a message of love, hope, grief, fear, and connection with the natural world to leaders deciding on the future of our climate. Filmmaker Benjamin Wigley walked with the group, who became known as ‘Caministas’, filming their experiences and capturing the sense of pilgrimage on this emotional and purposeful journey. More than a thousand walkers, aged from eight to 80 plus, joined the Camino for a few hours, a day or more, or completed the entire route to Glasgow.
We are screening this film to coincide with COP28, which is taking place in Dubai from Thursday 30 November until Tuesday 12 December 2023.
Duration, release date and languages
The film screening will run for around 60 minutes and will be followed by discussion and networking. This film was released in 2022 and is in English. The film will be presented with descriptive subtitles (aka captions).
Refreshments
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available during the screening and the discussion. Oh and popcorn, of course! However no evening meal will be provided so please make sure you have a meal before or after you attend, if required.
