Top Banana put me in front of local clients I didn't know were looking - simple, no fuss, and it just works. I wasn't sure a local directory would work for voiceover, but the enquiries speak for themselves. Worth every penny.
We claimed our spot on day one and within a few weeks we were getting enquiries from people we'd never have reached otherwise. Being the only web developer listed in Tranent means the right people find us - no competing with ten other agencies on the same page.
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.

About Bowmore
Bowmore is the administrative capital of Islay, a planned village built in 1768 with a distinctive round church at the top of its main street.
The Bowmore Distillery, founded in 1779, is one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland and sits on the shore of Loch Indaal at the heart of the village.
Properties include traditional whitewashed cottages, stone-built terraces from the village's planned era and modern housing on the outskirts.
Bowmore has a primary school, a swimming pool heated by waste heat from the distillery, local shops and a village hall.
The island setting and exposed Atlantic climate place particular demands on building maintenance, with homeowners relying on local tradespeople for weatherproofing and general upkeep.
About Argyll and Bute
(opens in new tab)Argyll and Bute is a vast council area on Scotland's western seaboard, stretching from the Cowal peninsula and the shores of Loch Lomond to the Atlantic islands of Mull, Islay, Jura, Bute and Tiree - a landscape of sea lochs, mountains and some of the longest coastline of any local authority in Britain.
Oban is the main town and the gateway to the islands, a busy harbour where CalMac ferries depart for Mull, Coll, Tiree, Colonsay and beyond. Helensburgh and Dunoon serve the Cowal and Rosneath communities closer to Glasgow, while Campbeltown at the tip of Kintyre, Lochgilphead in mid-Argyll, Inveraray on Loch Fyne and Rothesay on Bute each act as local centres for their surrounding areas.
The economy is shaped by tourism, whisky, fishing and farming. Islay alone is home to nine working distilleries and draws visitors from around the world, while the wider region's seafood industry - salmon farming, shellfish and traditional fishing - is a major employer. The landscapes of Mull, the Trossachs fringe and the Kintyre coast attract walkers, sailors and wildlife enthusiasts throughout the year.
Ferries are the lifeline of the area, connecting island and peninsula communities to the mainland and to each other. CalMac services run from Oban, Kennacraig, Gourock and Wemyss Bay, while road links depend on the A82, A83 and A85 trunk roads - routes that wind through some of the most scenic driving in Scotland but can be challenging in winter.
Argyll and Bute has a distinctive character shaped by its maritime heritage, Highland culture and scattered communities. It is a place where wild landscape and close-knit towns sit side by side, offering a quality of life that draws people looking for space, scenery and a strong sense of community.
