About Roughcasters

A roughcaster applies a textured external finish to buildings - the traditional Scottish harling that protects stone and blockwork walls from the weather while giving them a clean, uniform appearance.

Harling is one of Scotland's most common wall finishes and when it cracks, blows or starts to let in damp, getting it patched or replaced promptly prevents more expensive damage to the masonry underneath.

Ask whether they use traditional lime harling or modern cement render - on older stone buildings, lime-based finishes allow the walls to breathe and avoid the moisture problems that cement can cause.

Also covers:
  • harling
  • roughcasting
  • pebbledash
  • render
  • external wall coating

About Montrose

Montrose is a coastal town at the mouth of the South Esk, roughly midway between Dundee and Aberdeen, with a distinctive position between the open sea and a large tidal basin.

Montrose Basin is a 750-hectare tidal lagoon designated as a local nature reserve and managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust - it attracts tens of thousands of migrating pink-footed geese each autumn and is one of the best birdwatching sites in eastern Scotland.

The town has a fine wide high street, a strong Georgian core and a history tied to trade, fishing and more recently the North Sea oil industry.

Montrose has a railway station on the main Aberdeen line, a leisure centre, independent shops and a broad range of services serving both the town and a large rural catchment to the north and west.

About Angus

Angus coat of arms(opens in new tab)

Angus is a council area on the east coast of Scotland, stretching from the North Sea shoreline inland through the fertile Strathmore valley to the high ground of the Angus Glens and the fringes of the Cairngorms.

Forfar is the county town and administrative centre, while Arbroath on the coast is the largest settlement - a town with deep historical significance as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320.

The area divides naturally into three bands: the coastal strip with its harbours, beaches and golf links; the broad agricultural plain of Strathmore running through the middle; and the Highland glens - Clova, Prosen, Isla, Esk and Lethnot - that reach northward into the mountains.

Angus has a strong identity shaped by farming, fishing and food - the Arbroath smokie and the Forfar bridie are both nationally recognised and the soft fruit industry across the Strathmore valley has been a mainstay for generations.

Transport links include the main east coast rail line serving Arbroath, Carnoustie and Montrose, the A90 dual carriageway connecting Dundee to Aberdeen and a network of rural roads that reach into some of the most scenic and least-visited parts of Highland Scotland.
