Scotland on Sunday

The BBC's Restoration series is upon us again, highlighting buildings that have stood the test of time, but are in dire need of rescue. This year they include an Orkney lighthouse which is the oldest in Scotland, a 16th-century church in Cromarty and a Greek Revival town hall in Berwick. They command affection for different reasons - historic, architectural or simply because they have become part of a much-loved landscape. How many of our modern buildings will measure up to those standards? Will we, in 200 years' time, be fighting to save them with the same enthusiasm? Or are we simply building to respond to the fashion of the day or the dictates of the market?
