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.

About Loanhead
Loanhead is a town of around 7,000 people on the A701 corridor between Edinburgh and Penicuik, sitting on the ridge above the North Esk valley.
The Straiton retail park, on Loanhead's northern boundary, is one of the busiest out-of-town shopping destinations in the Edinburgh area.
The town itself has a traditional main street with local shops, takeaways and services and is home to the Midlothian Snowsports Centre at Hillend - the longest artificial ski slope in the UK.
Loanhead's position gives it easy access to the Edinburgh city bypass and bus routes into the city centre are frequent.
About Midlothian
(opens in new tab)Midlothian is a compact council area immediately south of Edinburgh, stretching from the city bypass through the valleys of the North and South Esk rivers to the northern slopes of the Pentland Hills and the edge of the Scottish Borders.
The region has a strong industrial heritage - coal mining shaped communities like Newtongrange, Gorebridge and Loanhead for generations, and the National Mining Museum at Newtongrange preserves that history. Today those same towns are thriving residential centres with a sense of identity that predates their recent growth.
Dalkeith is the administrative centre, with its impressive palace grounds and busy high street, while Penicuik sits against the Pentlands with the feel of a self-contained town. Bonnyrigg and Lasswade, once separate villages, have grown together into Midlothian's most populous settlement.
Rosslyn Chapel, made famous by The Da Vinci Code, draws visitors from around the world, and the Pentland Hills Regional Park offers walking, cycling and riding within easy reach of the city - a landscape that makes Midlothian feel far more rural than its proximity to Edinburgh suggests.
The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Eskbank, Newtongrange and Gorebridge to Edinburgh Waverley and has driven significant housing growth. Midlothian is one of Scotland's fastest-growing council areas, attracting families and professionals who want space, green surroundings and a strong community without the city price tag.
