Armour Construction Consultants were delighted to support the restoration of two significant heritage sites in East Ayrshire — the Burns House Museum and Nanse Tinnock’s, both located in the historic town of Mauchline.
Commissioned by East Ayrshire Council as part of the Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS), the projects aimed to preserve and enhance two of the town’s most cherished landmarks.
Working alongside Principal Contractor CBC Stone, Armour provided Quantity Surveying services both pre- and post-contract, ensuring each project was delivered with precision, value, and deep respect for the buildings’ historical importance.
The restoration works included – localised roof covering replacement, repairs to windows and external doors, stonework cleaning and repairs, roof timber treatment and replacement of roof insulation.
Situated in the heart of Mauchline, Burns House Museum stands as a testament to 18th-century Scottish architecture and craftsmanship. This Category B listed building, where Robert Burns and Jean Armour began their married life in 1788, continues to connect visitors to Scotland’s cultural and literary heritage.
Nearby, Nanse Tinnock’s — another historically significant property — contributes to the town’s rich architectural character and ongoing story of conservation and renewal.
We’re proud to have played a part in safeguarding these iconic buildings for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
