Tain

Tain is an imperial burgh and parish in the Region of Ross, in the Highlands of Scotland. The name originates from the neighboring River Tain, the name of which comes from an Indo-European root meaning 'circulation'. The Gaelic name, Baile Dubhthaich, implies 'Duthac's community', after a local saint also referred to as Duthus. Tain was given its initial imperial charter in 1066, making it Scotland's oldest royal burgh, honored in 1966 with the opening of the Rose Garden by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The 1066 charter, granted by King Malcolm III, verified Tain as a shelter, where people can claim the defense of the church, and a resistance, in which homeowner sellers and also traders were exempt from certain taxes. These brought about the development of the community. Little is understood of earlier history although the community owed much of its importance to Duthac. He was an early Christian number, possibly 8th or 9th century, whose temple had actually become so crucial by 1066 that it resulted in the imperial charter. The destroyed chapel near the mouth of the river was stated to have actually been built on the site of his birth. Duthac came to be a main saint in 1419 and by the late Middle Ages his temple was an important places of pilgrimage in Scotland. King James IV came at least yearly throughout his regime to accomplish both spiritual as well as political purposes. A leading landowning household of the area, the Clan Munro, supplied political as well as spiritual numbers to the community, including the skeptic Rev John Munro of Tain (passed away ca. 1630). The very early Duthac Chapel was the centre of a haven. Fugitives were by tradition given sanctuary in several square miles noted by boundary stones. During the First War of Scottish Independence, Robert the Bruce sent his wife and daughter to the haven for security. The sanctuary was breached as well as they were caught by forces dedicated to William II, Earl of Ross that handed them over to Edward I of England The women were required to England as well as maintained prisoner for numerous years.

FAQs

Which type of insulation is best?

The best type of insulation for your property will depend on the type of walls and any insulation that’s already present. It’s usually a good idea to have some form of wall insulation as well as loft insulation, as this helps to prevent heat loss in both areas.

how to insulate a loft?

Do you know about 25 percent of heat that escapes from an uninsulated house are lost through the roof? Fortunately, roof insulation is something that can done by all DIYers irrespective of their experience levels. However, if you happen to lack the confidence necessary to pull off this, then it’s strongly recommended that you hire the services of a professional who can guarantee the best results and also save you time and money that could arise from potential cost mistakes. Let’s take a look!

  • Clear out all clutter. This involves taking out all the rubbish and clutter from the loft. In order to work effectively, you’ll need a totally clear and empty loft space.
  • Ensure that there’s sufficient insulation. The importance of a good ventilation cannot be overstated. Poor ventilation will result in forming of condensation and this condensation can make the roof timbers rot and compromise the structural integrity of the entire roof. If there are no roof windows which is the easiest way to provide a loft ventilation, the next best option would be to follow the loft floor along to the point where the roof comes down to meet it. There should be a gap at this point, also referred to as the eaves, between the outside wall and the underside of the roof.
  • Measure your loft area. Take a measurement of the loft space in order to calculate the amount of insulation as well as the type you need. If you’re not sure, always get more that it’s required as skimming on the amount you use will only back fire in form of increased energy costs
  • Check for water pipes.

 

To get started, simply make sure all cracks and gaps in the ceiling are filled using a standard filler or decorator caulk. Once done, clean the gaps in the joists and even to the point of hovering all the dust up. Finally,check for the hazards that can cause you problems before laying the loft insulation.

how does loft insulation work?

A lot of an uninsulated property’s heat is lost through the roof and that’s even more alarming, when you realize this figure is up to a quarter of the total heat of the house. Hence, the tremendous importance of preventing this heat loss through loft insulation which will go a long way to help you against spending unnecessary thousands of pounds on heating bill as well as energy loss.

 

Loft insulation is an effective method to achieve the desired result, however the question is, how exactly does it work? Well, it’s time to find out!

 

Using either a fireplace or central heating to heat up your home, a large quantity of that heat would be lost through the roof of your home. Generally, heat rises and when it does, there’s simply no way to prevent it - it’s just science. Escaping by both the conduction and convection methods via your roof, the heat escaping through your ceiling, into the loft space and out into the open air outside can only be significantly reduced by laying loft insulation.

 

Generally, the added layer of insulation works by trapping the heat inside the room below the loft so as to enable the air within your house to stay warmer for longer. What’s more? The layer of insulation also keeps cold air from the outside from entering your home. As a result, you don’t have to heat your home as much in order to achieve the same temperature for each individual room. Over time, just by doing this you can potentially save hundreds pounds. Getting it installed in your home may actually seem a bit expensive at first, but it’s something that’ll eventually pay off.

Will insulation save me money on my energy bills?

This depends on the amount of insulation already present in your property. However, adding insulation has been proven to improve the energy efficiency of your home and decrease your heating bills, this is more obvious in older properties or where single glazing is still in situ.
