No fencer listed in Dirleton yet.

A fencer installs and repairs fences, gates and boundary treatments - from standard timber panels and close-board fencing to post-and-rail, stock fencing and bespoke garden screens.

Scotland's weather puts fences under serious pressure, so proper posts set in concrete and treated timber make the difference between a fence that lasts and one that blows over in the first winter.

Check boundary ownership before commissioning any fence work - your title deeds or the Land Register of Scotland will confirm which boundaries are your responsibility.

Dirleton is among the prettiest villages in Scotland, built around a green overlooked by a 13th-century castle managed by Historic Environment Scotland.

The castle gardens include a herbaceous border that once held a Guinness World Record for length.

Yellowcraig Beach, with views out to Fidra island, is a short walk away.

It is a small, quiet village close to North Berwick and Gullane, popular with visitors and much sought-after as a place to live.

East Lothian is a coastal county on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, stretching from the outskirts of Edinburgh to the Berwickshire border. Its rich agricultural land, dramatic coastline and the rolling Lammermuir Hills give it a landscape that feels far removed from the city on its doorstep.

The county has deep historical roots - Haddington, the county town, was one of medieval Scotland's four great royal burghs, and the region is studded with castles, tower houses and estate lands that reflect centuries of strategic importance.

Musselburgh, the largest town, sits on Edinburgh's eastern edge, while North Berwick, Dunbar, Gullane and Dirleton are among the most sought-after places to live in Scotland - valued for their beaches, world-class golf courses and strong sense of community.

The towns and villages each have their own distinct character - from the harbour culture of Dunbar and North Berwick to the market town feel of Haddington and the quiet conservation villages of the interior.

East Lothian has strong transport links - the A1 and two rail lines connect the region to Edinburgh quickly - making it a practical choice for families and professionals who want rural character with easy city access.
