Double glazing is made up of two layers of glass, with a layer of argon gas in between. This type of glass can be used in Aluminium windows. The gas is a poor insulator, helping heat to stay in your home and making your windows more efficient. As well as trapping the argon gas, the second layer of glass reduces the amount of noise that enters your property, and helps to make your windows stronger and more secure.
Dunbeath
Dunbeath is a town in south-east Caithness, Scotland on the A9 road. It was the birth place of Neil M. Gunn (1891-1973), author of The Silver Darlings, Highland River and so on, a lot of whose books are embeded in Dunbeath and also its Strath. Dunbeath has an extremely abundant historical landscape, the website of many Iron Age brochs as well as an early middle ages monastic site (see Alex Morrison's archaeological survey, "Dunbeath: A Cultural Landscape".) Of Dunbeath's landscape, Gunn created: "These little straths, like the Strath of Dunbeath, have this intimate appeal. In boyhood we learn more about every square backyard of it. We include it literally and our memories hold it. Birches, hazel trees for nutting, pools with trout and a periodically visible salmon, river-flats with the wind on the bracken as well as vanishing rabbit scuts, a riches of wild flower and tiny bird life, the soaring hawk, the unanticipated roe, the old graveyard, thoughts of the people that as soon as lived much inland in straths and hollows, the past and also the here and now kept in a moment of day-dream." ('My Little Bit Of Britain', 1941.). There is a community museum/landscape analysis centre at the old village college.
