Reviving the Trinity: Laser Scanning (LIDAR) Survey of Trinity College Kirk, Edinburgh, UK

The dataset consists of a group of point cloud models of Trinity College Kirk in Edinburgh, UK. These were generated from a laser scanning (LIDAR) survey conducted on 3rd July 2024. The survey was undertaken as part of the Reviving the Trinity Stones project, funded by the Old Edinburgh Club’s Jean Guild Award. The project’s Principal Investigator is Jill Harrison, an Honorary Research Associate at the Open University. This survey was conducted by James Hillson during the time was a Lecturer in Architectural History at the University of Edinburgh (2023-24), with the assistance of Jill Harrison, Lizzie Swarbrick and James Cook. The aim of the survey was to use laser scanning data to record the interior of Trinity College Kirk, with the aim of producing a set of point cloud models which could be used for future research. This dataset consists of the resulting RAW scanning data and processed point clouds, made publicly available in .e57 format for any non-commercial purpose. Further details regarding the dataset and the surveying process can be found in the accompanying .xlsx spreadsheet.
