The Prestwick Built Heritage project is a community led initiative to raise awareness of important but often overlooked heritage buildings within the town of Prestwick in South Ayrshire. The project was delivered for the Prestwick Civic Pride Partnership in June 2023 and in collaboration with Advanced Accredited Conservation Architect Fiona Sinclair. The first stage of the project was to document and record the built heritage of the town through a mapping exercise and collating a visual record of each building. The information gathered during this process was then illustrated and presented in a small map which was distributed throughout the town and at a Doors Open Day event organised and arranged by O’DonnellBrown.

The project identified the A listed Salt Pan houses located on the Prestwick shorefront as a significant building. The pair of houses were built circa 1760 for the salt boiling industry with salt pans below and housing above. The houses are now in the ownership of St Nicholas Golf Club and are considered to be the most complete upstanding remains of the saltboiling industry on the west coast and the most complete to survive in Scotland. Through dialogue with the Prestwick Civic Pride Partnership and the building owners O’DonnellBrown along with Fiona Sinclair undertook an inspection of both buildings and prepared a Conservation and Maintenance Plan.
