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.

(opens in new tab)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.
