ABSTRACT
The terms ‘heritage’ and ‘climate change’ around which this volume is focused come laden with an intellectual baggage that has grown significantly in the last couple of decades. They are both terms that envelop a wide frame of enquiry across many disciplines, and as such, trying to think through how they relate or cause friction with each other can seem a
daunting task. This chapter is an attempt to deal with these huge topics by coming at them from a ground-up approach – by starting from the stone itself, and working out into the wider landscape and the people who are part of it, to appreciate a changing landscape in all its many facets and with a perspective governed by time.
