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 Dufftown

Dufftown is a small town in the hills of upper Speyside, founded in 1817 by James Duff, 4th Earl of Fife and widely known as the malt whisky capital of the world.

Six working distilleries operate within the town and its surroundings, including Glenfiddich and Balvenie, making it a draw for whisky enthusiasts from around the globe.

Properties include traditional stone-built houses in the planned town centre, Victorian-era terraces and modern housing on the edges.

Dufftown has a primary school, local shops, a heritage railway and a clock tower at its centre that has become a local landmark.

The distillery industry and tourism trade support the local economy, and the older housing stock provides regular work for tradespeople in renovation and maintenance.

About Moray

Moray coat of arms(opens in new tab)

Moray is a council area on the southern shore of the Moray Firth in north-east Scotland, stretching from the fertile coastal lowlands inland through the broad valley of the River Spey to the fringes of the Cairngorms.

Elgin is the administrative centre and largest town, a handsome settlement built around the ruins of its medieval cathedral - once known as the Lantern of the North. Forres, Lossiemouth, Buckie and Keith are the other main towns, each with a distinct character shaped by the industries and landscape around them.

The region has the highest concentration of malt whisky distilleries in Scotland. Speyside - the valley of the River Spey running through Dufftown, Craigellachie and Aberlour - is home to some of the most famous names in Scotch whisky and the Malt Whisky Trail draws visitors from around the world. Dufftown alone has more distilleries than most countries.

RAF Lossiemouth is one of the largest military bases in Scotland and a major employer in the area, while the Moray Firth coast supports fishing communities at Buckie, Burghead and Lossiemouth. Farming - particularly barley growing, which feeds the distilleries - remains central to the local economy across the fertile coastal plain.

Transport links include the A96 connecting Elgin to Inverness and Aberdeen, with rail services running along the same corridor. The A95 follows the Spey valley south towards the Cairngorms, connecting the whisky towns and providing access to the Highlands.
