Historic Environment Scotland's Engine Shed at Forthside

The Engine Shed was once a military goods and transfers shed. It was built sometime between 1896 and 1913 but the exact details of its construction were subject to an information blackout and are still unknown today. Historic Environment Scotland undertook extensive restoration of the building and its doors opened in 2017. The Engine Shed in Stirling is now Scotland’s dedicated building conservation centre and serves as a central hub for building & conservation professionals and the general public.

The Engine Shed is a vital learning and visitor resource to help encourage a greater understanding of traditional building materials & skills, which are in short supply, and to inspire future generations to continue to care for the finite and unique resource that is Scotland’s built heritage.

Come and take a free guided tour of Scotland’s dedicated building conservation centre, learn about our building including how it was constructed by using traditional materials in a contemporary way and how many other traditional materials have been able to be recycled or restored during the restoration.

Booking essential Tours are by arrangement only, to book your place please go to https://www.engineshed. scot/whats-on/

Disabled access - There are two accessible parking bays for blue badge holders located on the street at the front of the building adjacent to the spikey bridge stairs.
