The Vernacular Architecture Group was formed in 1952 to further the study of traditional buildings, originally those of the British Isles. Today the VAG also reflects a growing interest in buildings from other parts of the world. https://www.vag.org.uk

A castle, a long house, a tin tabernacle and a historic library and chapel - a wonderful variety of buildings for day two of the VAG Spring Conference in Stirling!
Great day in Stirling on day one of the VAG Spring Conference, exploring the city and the castle (including the secret bits!).
More images from day one of the VAG Spring Conference in Stirling (where Christmas has come early to one shop).
The rather lovely venue for this year's VAG Spring Conference - Stirling University. About to kick off with an introductory talk on 'Living in a cold, wet climate: environment, materials and vernacular buildings in Scotland'. Very appropriate as we've had a heavy shower earlier this evening!
Moirlanich Longhouse, near Killin, visited during VAG Spring Conference. Lovely example of a cruck-framed cottage with byre, with 'hingin lum' (hanging chimney) and box beds. National Trust for Scotland - well worth a visit!
Hello! Anyone in #Hampshire know if Kevin Stubbs - historic buildings expert - is still around and active in building conservation? Or if anyone knows of other Hampshire cob wall experts please
