About Fencers
A fencer installs and repairs fences, gates, and boundary treatments - from standard timber panels and close-board fencing to post-and-rail, stock fencing, and bespoke garden screens.
Scotland's weather puts fences under serious pressure, so proper posts set in concrete and treated timber make the difference between a fence that lasts and one that blows over in the first winter.
Check boundary ownership before commissioning any fence work - your title deeds or the Land Register of Scotland will confirm which boundaries are your responsibility.
About Finstown
Finstown is a village on the Mainland of Orkney, sitting at the head of the Bay of Firth roughly halfway between Kirkwall and Stromness on the main road across the island.
The village takes its name from an Irishman, David Phin, who settled here and established an inn in the early 19th century — the anglicised spelling eventually giving the settlement its name.
Finstown has a primary school, a hotel, a village shop, and a sheltered bay that makes it a pleasant stopping point between the two main towns.
Its central position on the Mainland makes it a practical base for exploring Orkney, with the Neolithic sites at Stenness and Brodgar a short drive to the west and Kirkwall easily reached to the east.
About Orkney
(opens in new tab)Orkney is an archipelago of around 70 islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland, separated from Caithness by the Pentland Firth — one of the most powerful tidal races in Europe.
Of those 70 islands, roughly 20 are inhabited, and most of the population of around 22,000 lives on the largest island, known simply as the Mainland, where the towns of Kirkwall and Stromness serve as the administrative and cultural centres.
Orkney's history stretches back over 5,000 years. The Heart of Neolithic Orkney — a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Skara Brae, Maeshowe, the Ring of Brodgar, and the Stones of Stenness — represents some of the best-preserved prehistoric sites anywhere in northern Europe. The islands were under Norse rule for around 600 years, and that Scandinavian heritage remains visible in place names, dialect, and culture.
The islands are reached by ferry from Scrabster and Aberdeen, and by air from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Inverness. Orkney's economy is built on agriculture, fishing, renewable energy, whisky, and tourism, and the islands have a quality of life consistently rated among the highest in Scotland.
