The Scottish Lime Centre Trust (SLCT) was established in 1994 as a ‘not for profit’ organisation registered as a charity in Scotland. Our aims and objectives are to:

• Promote for the public benefit the appropriate repair of Scotland's traditional and historic buildings;
• Advance education through the provision of advice, training and practical experience in the use of lime for the repair and conservation of such buildings and
• Promote and further the preservation and development of Scottish building traditional, crafts and skills.
