Location: Cromarty | I made contact with these people. An elegant solution as Martin says but they don not retro-fit existing windows so it does mean replacing them completely. There are other people too who offer something similar - including a supplier here in Cromarty (of Canadian windows...) - you can see these installed at the Salmon Bothy on Cromarty Links by the car park and very good I think they look.
I don't know why the planners were so insistent on single glazed windows in my house - the ones I took out were 1970s ones and nothing like the originals. Still they did require them despite my objections, so I will be putting in secondary double glazing when I can afford it.
Historic Scotland don't like secondary glazing and recommend traditional wooden shutters, which have a very low u-value, but of course when they are closed they keep the light out as well as the heat in!
