[https://www.historicenvironment.scot/archives-and-research/publications/publication/?publicationId=d49812ea-b515-4b33-a96c-a59500a5ef36 Hot-mixed Lime Mortar], published by Historic Environment Scotland in April 2015 states: ‘Quicklime can be combined with NHL to produce a ‘gauged’ mortar. Historically, mortars derived from Scottish limestones were often slightly hydraulic. As hydraulic quicklime is not readily available in the UK, gauging an NHL with quicklime attempts to replicate a traditional hydraulic hot lime mortar. Most hot-mixed lime mortars used in Scotland are prepared as gauged mixes, or (more rarely) with pozzolans.’
