No stonemason listed in Anderston 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.

Anderston is a city-centre neighbourhood on the north bank of the Clyde, dramatically reshaped by the construction of the M8 motorway in the 1960s and now experiencing a wave of residential development along the waterfront.

It sits between the SEC campus to the west and the commercial centre to the east, with Anderston station providing direct rail links.

Properties range from surviving tenement flats to high-rise towers and modern waterfront apartment developments.

The area is one of the best-connected in Glasgow, with a railway station, a bus station and the Clydeside Expressway all within walking distance.

The mix of modern developments and older properties in need of upgrading creates demand for tradespeople across fitting, plumbing, electrical and general building trades.

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, built on the River Clyde in the west-central Lowlands - a place whose character has been shaped by centuries of trade, heavy industry and reinvention.

The city is made up of dozens of distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own identity. The West End centres on the University of Glasgow, Byres Road and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. The Southside takes in the diverse communities of Pollokshields, Shawlands and Govanhill. The East End - home to the Barras, Glasgow Green and Celtic Park - is undergoing major regeneration, while areas like Finnieston, Merchant City and Dennistoun have been transformed by new restaurants, bars and creative businesses.

Glasgow's economy has shifted from its shipbuilding and heavy engineering heritage to one built on financial services, higher education, healthcare, culture and technology. The city is home to four universities and some of Scotland's largest employers. Its music scene is internationally renowned - producing bands from Simple Minds to Franz Ferdinand - and the Barrowland Ballroom, King Tut's and the Hydro make it one of the best live music cities in the UK.

The city has an extensive transport network. Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations connect it to the rest of Scotland and beyond, the Glasgow Subway serves the city centre and West End, an extensive bus network covers the wider area and the M8, M74 and M77 motorways link Glasgow to Edinburgh, the south and Ayrshire. Glasgow Airport at Paisley is a short drive from the city centre.

Despite its size, Glasgow retains a strong sense of community and a distinctive warmth. It is a city proud of its working-class roots, its humour and its cultural ambition - a place that has reinvented itself repeatedly and continues to do so.
