No stonemason listed in Kinghorn yet.

A stonemason works with natural stone - repairing walls, lintels, steps and chimneys, repointing lime mortar joints and carrying out restoration work on older buildings.

In Scotland, with so many stone-built properties, a skilled local stonemason is an essential trade to have access to.

Always check that they use lime mortar rather than cement on traditional stone buildings - using the wrong mortar can cause serious long-term damage to old masonry.

Kinghorn is a small coastal town on the south shore of Fife, perched on cliffs between Burntisland and Kirkcaldy with views across the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh.

The town is associated with one of the pivotal moments in Scottish history - King Alexander III died in a riding accident on the cliffs here in 1286, setting off the Wars of Scottish Independence.

Kinghorn has a sandy beach at Pettycur Bay, a small harbour and a quiet, residential character that makes it a popular place to live for those commuting to Edinburgh.

A rail station on the Fife Circle line connects the town to Edinburgh Waverley in around 45 minutes.

Fife is a large peninsula in eastern Scotland, bounded by the Firth of Forth to the south and the Firth of Tay to the north - a geography that has given it a distinct identity and earned it the traditional title of 'The Kingdom of Fife'.

Dunfermline is the largest settlement and a former capital of Scotland, granted city status in 2022, while Glenrothes serves as the administrative centre and St Andrews is known worldwide as the home of golf and Scotland's oldest university.

The south-west of Fife has a strong industrial heritage - coal mining and shipbuilding shaped towns like Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly and Rosyth - while the East Neuk coastline is defined by a string of picturesque fishing villages: Anstruther, Crail, Pittenweem and St Monans.

Inland, the Howe of Fife is fertile agricultural land dotted with market towns like Cupar, Auchtermuchty and Falkland, the last of these home to a beautifully preserved Renaissance palace.

Fife is well connected to Edinburgh via the Forth Road Bridge and Queensferry Crossing and to Dundee via the Tay Road Bridge, making much of the region practical for commuters while retaining a strong sense of local identity.
