About Fencers
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.
About Ratho
Ratho is a rural village in west Edinburgh, best known for the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena — one of the largest indoor climbing centres in the world.
The Union Canal runs through the village and the Bridge Inn on the canal bank is a popular pub and restaurant with boat trips.
Ratho has a primary school, a village hall and a church and the surrounding countryside is agricultural land within the city boundary.
The village's position near the Edinburgh city bypass and the M8 junction gives it good road connections despite its rural feel.
About Edinburgh
(opens in new tab)Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and one of the most recognisable cities in the world, built across a series of volcanic hills on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth.
The Old Town and New Town, together a UNESCO World Heritage Site, form the historic core — but the city stretches far beyond them, taking in dozens of distinct neighbourhoods, suburbs and villages absorbed over centuries of growth.
From the Georgian terraces of the New Town to the seaside promenade at Portobello, the leafy avenues of Morningside to the waterfront regeneration at Granton, each part of Edinburgh has its own character and community.
The city is a centre for finance, technology, higher education and the arts — the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world and the city's universities attract students and researchers from across the globe.
Edinburgh's transport network includes a tram line, an extensive bus system, two mainline railway stations and an international airport, connecting its neighbourhoods to each other and to the rest of Scotland and beyond.
