Drystone Entrance-way Wall Built From Reclaimed Stone in Perth and Kinross

We love to ‘recycle’ stone and we love it when clients want to repair drystone that has seen better days. This job saw us reinstating a entrance-way wall and building it with stone from an old mill that once stood next to the river. The before and after are quite drastic!

The wall was long, and low, and so we took the opportunity to add a small ‘feature’ with the simple addition of a section of flat copes under a beautiful Copper Beech tree. While we were building a group of walkers came past and stopped to chat, and we were thrilled when they began to pose for photographs on the ‘seat’ that the flat cope had created.

With the river down below, trees above, the beautiful stone cottage at the end of the drive, and our wall bringing it all together, this scene couldn’t get more idyllic. Another passer-by, a woman who had lived in the area her whole life, told us about the ruins of Muckersie Chapel, and so we plan to return at some point to see this. One of the perks of being a drystone waller is exploring many wee corners of rural Scotland that we might otherwise have missed. We’re always finding new places that we love.
