Last Thursday evening we attended the RIAS Awards in Edinburgh. The Canna House Project received two awards - a 2026 RIAS Award, as well as the RIAS/Velux Architectural Heritage Award 2026. The project is now in the running for Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award later this year, against other category winners.

Amazing to see so many exemplar projects and some old friends. Personally delighted for LDN Architects, specifically Ian Fraser, as well as all other project contributors who are too numerous to mention. You know who you are!

The project conserves the home while introducing environmental conditions that would protect its collection of Gaelic culture

Nice project to be involved in - with some very skilled specialist drystone dykers

Believed to have been a noblewoman's prison, the stone structure is among the most significant historical remains on the island

Delighted that our Canna House Project has been shortlisted for the RIAS Awards 2026. Well done LDN Architects, Narro, Harley Haddow, McLeod & Aitken and Simpson Builders for your patience and work, amongst so many other specialists and contributors. Thanks to our client the National Trust for Scotland for providing the opportunity, commitment and vision. The fishing boat they’ve commandeered must be to visit us?

The RIAS has revealed the 14 contenders for its annual awards, describing the shortlist as ‘striking in its diversity in terms of scale, location and purpose’

Merry Christmas to all friends, associates, clients and contractors - in leiu of cards and gifts, this year we've made a donation to the CHAS - Children's Hospices Across Scotland.

As well as providing support to families and hospice care nationally, CHAS are now working towards local home support for Highland families that find themselves remote to some of the organisations established facilities. We are glad to be able to support this cause.

Thanks everyone for your business, support and company over 2025, have a restful break and I'll see you all in the New Year.
