Peter Drummond Architects is an architectural practice specialising in heritage and conservation work, focussing upon adaptive re-use and strategic redevelopment of vulnerable historic sites. We undertake projects in their own right and also provide expert consultancy advice for a wide range of both public and private sector bodies. Main work areas include conservation management plans, assessment of historic sites, conservation and redevelopment proposals, and negotiation with statutory authorities. A major aspect of this is also advising on sources of grant assistance.

The principal of the practice, Peter Drummond, is a chartered architect with over 20 years experience in the heritage sector. After training at Historic Scotland, Peter moved to leading Scottish conservation practice ARP Lorimer and Associates, and from 2004 to 2007 headed the specialist pan-practice conservation unit at Austin-Smith: Lord. He is accredited in conservation at the highest levels of the RIAS, RIBA, and AABC schemes and is Past National Chairman of the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland.

Working with Peter is a team with over 50 years of experience across the construction sector, including archaeological and archival specialist advice. Associate Alastair Campbell brings an extensive background in private sector housing and commercial projects, focussing on our work for one-off houses and developer clients.

Amongst our current and recent projects are James Miller's iconic Turnberry Hotel for the Trump Organization, the redevelopment of an important 18th century town house in Ayr, and advising North Ayrshire Council on the Irvine Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme. Other work has included advising East Ayrshire Council on the redevelopment of historic John Finnie Street in Kilmarnock; the Rothesay Townscape Heritage Initiative, the Millport Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme, and conservation and repair of the 13th century Portencross Castle, featured in BBC Restoration.

Ecclesiastical projects form a significant part of our work and we are currently advising the Church of Scotland on various aspects including fabric repairs and new hall buildings. The practice has recently completed repairs to St. Meddan's Church in Troon, Sanquhar Parish Church, Crichton Memorial Church in Dumfries, Ardeer Parish Church, and Shettleston New Parish Church.

We regularly work with other architects on heritage-led projects and were part of the A-S:L team working on the Shrewsbury Music Hall Project to develop a new museum for Shropshire and the Bedwellty House and Park Project in Tredegar.
