We were commissioned to conserve Aberdeen's collection of outdoor bronze monuments. This prestigious collection includes monuments to William Wallace, Robert Burns, Lord Byron and King Edward VII. The four-month project resulted in a collection that is a gleaming testament to the importance of public sculpture in our cultural heritage.
