About Blacksmiths
A blacksmith forges and fabricates metalwork by hand - gates, railings, handrails, fire baskets, brackets and bespoke decorative ironwork for homes, gardens and commercial properties.
Scotland has a strong tradition of ornamental ironwork and a skilled blacksmith can produce pieces that are both functional and distinctive in a way that factory-made alternatives never are.
For listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, a blacksmith who understands heritage specifications can produce work that satisfies planning requirements while matching the character of the original.
About Balgay
Balgay is a residential area in the west of Dundee, centred on the ridge and parkland of Balgay Hill, which separates it from Lochee to the north.
Balgay Park is a Victorian cemetery and woodland park that runs along the hilltop and provides one of the city's quieter green spaces, along with the Mills Observatory — Britain's first purpose-built public observatory.
The surrounding streets are a mix of tenements and terraced housing, with good bus connections to both Lochee and the city centre and easy walking distance of the West End's amenities.
About Dundee
(opens in new tab)Dundee City is a compact council area on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, covering Scotland's fourth-largest city and a narrow belt of suburbs stretching east to Broughty Ferry and west to Invergowrie.
The city has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations in urban Scotland, with the opening of V&A Dundee in 2018 anchoring a waterfront regeneration that has reshaped the city's image and economy.
Dundee has a long history of industry — jute, jam and journalism were the famous 'three Js' — and that heritage has given way to strengths in life sciences, digital technology and video games, with the city home to the studios that created Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings.
The University of Dundee and Abertay University give the city a large student population and a research base that punches well above the city's weight, particularly in medical research, art and design.
Despite its city status, Dundee is remarkably compact — most neighbourhoods are within a few miles of the centre and the Tay Road Bridge, the railway station and the A90 connect it quickly to Fife, Perth and Aberdeen.
