With all of the things going on over the past 12 months – updating the news part of the website has been fairly low down the list of priorities. So here is a bitesize review of what 2024 brought: 

• Completion of the new Lodge at Lochend 

• Completion of Rob & Jean’s House at Monachyle 

• Barnacarry onsite and well under way 

• Newton Bothy started 

• Dualt House Finished 

• West High Lodge Kippen nearly finished 

• Blairgarry Bothy onsite 

• Shepherds Lodge (Mk2!) in planning 

• Trailer Sauna underway 

• Linnach Lodge under way 

 • My own extension finally finished! 

 When you list it like that – its been a busy year and I am well behind on photographs and updates etc – so May will have to be Website update month. 

So 2024 has arrived and I have been very bad at adding any news or content to this page - a quick preview of our 2024 project should do for now until i feel like writing any more. The usual mixed bag for us - in all corners of Scotland from Harris, to Luing, from the West End of Glasgow to The Scottish Borders…no unifying themes, just interesting projects in interesting places for interesting clients - as my auld Da used to say “never be boring”.  

We only really like working in wild and remote areas – not only for the added challenge – but it gives you something to look at while you hang about the site waiting for the inevitable lost Jewson’s driver. Most of our rural work is in the Western Highlands: Trossachs, Breadalbane, Argyll etc but this month we are really branching out. Isle of Harris and the Borders! Must make sure our site visits are pretty well spaced apart…the photo below is our Harris site, where the weather is apparently always like this.
