About Glaziers
A glazier fits, replaces, and repairs glass in windows, doors, conservatories, and shopfronts - from emergency boarding and broken double-glazed units to bespoke glass installations.
Misted double-glazed units are a common problem in Scotland's climate and usually mean the seal has failed - a glazier can replace just the glass unit without replacing the whole frame.
For any work involving safety glass - shower screens, doors, low-level panels - make sure the glass used is toughened or laminated to the relevant British Standard.
About Blackness
Blackness is a tiny historic village on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, a few miles east of Bo'ness, dominated by the imposing bulk of Blackness Castle.
The castle, built in the 15th century and shaped like a ship jutting into the Forth, served variously as a royal castle, prison, and ammunition depot, and gained international recognition as the filming location for Fort William in the television series Outlander.
The village itself is little more than a handful of houses and a small harbour, but its setting on the Forth shore with views across to Fife is quietly spectacular.
Blackness is a popular starting or stopping point for walkers on the John Muir Way, which passes through the village along the coast.
About Falkirk
(opens in new tab)Falkirk is a council area in the heart of Scotland's central belt, sitting between Edinburgh and Glasgow with the Firth of Forth to the north and the foothills of the Campsie Fells to the west.
The town of Falkirk is the administrative centre and largest settlement, but the area also takes in Grangemouth — Scotland's largest petrochemical complex and one of its busiest ports — along with the historic burgh of Bo'ness on the Forth shoreline and a string of smaller towns and villages.
Falkirk's history runs deep: two of the most significant battles in the Wars of Independence were fought here, and the Antonine Wall — the Roman Empire's north-western frontier — crosses the district and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The area has reinvented itself around modern landmarks: the Falkirk Wheel, the world's only rotating boat lift, and the Kelpies, two 30-metre steel horse-head sculptures at the Helix park, draw visitors from around the world.
Transport links are excellent — the M9 and M876 connect Falkirk to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Stirling, and two railway lines serve the area — making it one of the most accessible and affordable parts of the central belt.
