Bobby Watt, "Parliament Hill: The Materials, the Methods and the Legends"

Snecked Stonemasonry    

by Bobby Watt    

This method of bonding stonework is so prevalent in Scotland and Ireland it has been referred to in some journals as ‘Celtic Bond’. Amongst the French speakers in Canada it is known as ‘travail ecossais'.

Whatever it’s called, this is a method of building an incredibly strong masonry wall with differently sized, (and even very loosely squared), stones, in either ashlar or rubble work, with a pattern that is both handsome and, at the higher levels of workmanship, artistic.

Heritage Ottawa’s Walking Tours – Another Record Year

The 2011 walking tour season for Heritage Ottawa finished as another boom year. Over the course of the summer and autumn, we organized and conducted 13 different tours, and attracted a total paying participation of 550 persons, of whom nearly half were non-members. This surpasses last year's record total of 479 walkers for 14 walking tours (there were a couple of weather challenges in 2010) and is a new record.Lowertown East for MacDonald Gardens, credit Bruce Elliott

One of the big draws this year was the new walk conducted by David Jeanes through Lowertown East, and we hope to repeat that tour in the coming year.

We also offered a walk conducted in French by Michel Prévost in the Ruisseau de la Brasserie area of Gatineau (Hull sector), in an effort to make Heritage Ottawa more representative of our community.
