This rapid project developed a post-event damage survey template, risk pathway scenario tool and workshop for Historic Environment Scotland and wider heritage sector partners. The research team carried out an in-depth survey of damage and loss incurred at Edinburgh Castle during an extreme rainfall event on 4th July 2021. Key findings highlighted the damage to the internal fabric of the castle in two key rooms, loss of staff hours and opportunity costs as well as near miss scenarios due to the significant influence of COVID 19 and the timing of the event itself.
The full report is available here. And a project summary can be found in our blog.
