Episode Four: Mark Our Words

Inspired by a temporary ceramics studio at the back of St Giles’, Ciara and Stephen ponder cathedral craftsmanship via the ancient practice of mason marks. Part professional necessity, part art, they are a tangible link to other Scottish buildings, offer us new possibilities in making the cathedral more accessible, and are a chance to get really excited about databases.
