Description

A building survey, including a rectified photographic survey and architectural survey, was carried out by FAS in 2002 at Castle Sinclair Girnigoe in Wick, Caithness. This incorporated rectified and computer rectified photography and total station metric survey which resulted in the creation of ground plans, floor plans, elevations and a site cross-section. The resulting drawings were enhanced on site, providing a detailed archaeological study which included particulars of construction and phasing. <1> <2>
