Résumé en anglais

"This INFORM guide explains how clay and clay-rich earth have traditionally been used in Scotland to make mortars for masonry wall construction and surface finishing. It explores how and why clay mortars were used and how to identify these mortars in traditional buildings and other structures. It also briefly covers maintenance and repair and some factors to consider if you own or care for a building that has clay or earth mortar."
