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.

Also covers:
  • harling
  • roughcasting
  • pebbledash
  • render
  • external wall coating

About Craigmillar

Craigmillar is a neighbourhood in south-east Edinburgh, dominated by the ruins of Craigmillar Castle - one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Scotland.

The castle, where Mary, Queen of Scots stayed in 1566, sits on a hilltop overlooking the neighbourhood and offers views across the city to the Forth.

Craigmillar has seen significant regeneration, with new housing, a community centre and improved public spaces transforming the area.

The neighbourhood is close to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France and has good bus connections to the city centre.

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh coat of arms(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.
