The Forth Valley Traditional Building Forum will be running its first Traditional Building Skills Summer School in and around Stirling.
The school children attending will get classes in a variety of traditional building skills as well as an understanding on the importance of traditional building skills and materials.
This event builds on the very successful traditional building skills events in Falkirk, Callendar and Stirling in the last couple of years.
The week will finish with a graduation at Stirling Castle.
