No metalworker listed in Lochee yet.

A metalworker forges and fabricates metalwork - 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 metalworker 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 metalworker who understands heritage specifications can produce work that satisfies planning requirements while matching the character of the original.

Lochee is a neighbourhood about a mile and a half north-west of Dundee city centre, with a high street that functions as a distinct local hub.

Cox's Stack - the chimney of the former Camperdown Works jute mill - is a listed landmark and a visible reminder of Lochee's industrial past as one of the most productive textile districts in Europe.

The area has a strong community identity, a range of everyday shops and services along Lochee High Street and good bus connections into the city centre.

Dundee is a compact city on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, Scotland's fourth-largest, with a narrow belt of suburbs stretching east to the handsome seaside village of Broughty Ferry and west to Invergowrie on the Carse of Gowrie.

The city has a gritty, unpretentious character shaped by its industrial past - jute, jam and journalism were the famous 'three Js' - and that working heritage gives Dundee a warmth and directness that sets it apart from Scotland's other cities.

The waterfront has been transformed in recent years, with V&A Dundee anchoring a regeneration that stretches along the Tay, but the real character of the city is in its neighbourhoods - the West End's cafes and independent shops, the Stobswell community, the views from the Law and the harbour feel of Broughty Ferry.

Dundee punches well above its weight in technology and research. The studios behind Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings are based here, and the University of Dundee and Abertay University drive strengths in life sciences, digital media, art and design.

Despite its city status, Dundee is remarkably walkable - most neighbourhoods are within a few miles of the centre - and the Tay Road Bridge, railway station and A90 connect it quickly to Fife, Perth and Aberdeen.
