<i>From Facebook page of Stronsay Heritage Society (Ian Cooper): </i><br>
<p>We had a great day at the Heritage Centre last Saturday when Paul
Johnson and Gail Drinkall came out to give us guidance on the care
and treatment of some of our cultural heritage objects. After
showing us the tools and materials we would be using, all of which
were quite easily available, and how and when to use them we sat
down to some 'hands on ' cleaning. It certainly transformed all
the items we were working with, particularly some old horse
harness. This harness was donated by John Holloway just a few
weeks ago and would probably have been hanging on their hooks on
the wall ever since the last horse was loosed out at the Castle
around 75 years ago! The photo shows one half in its original
condition and one half cleaned and treated - quite a difference!
We all learned a great deal, thoroughly enjoyed the day and would
like to pass on huge thanks to Paul and Gail for their easy going
tuition and help.</p>
