About Scaffolders

A scaffolder erects and dismantles temporary scaffolding to provide safe working platforms for other trades - roofers, painters, roughcasters, and anyone else working at height.

Scaffolding is usually hired for a set period and must be erected by a qualified team to meet current health and safety regulations.

Confirm the hire period, weekly rental cost, and whether the quote includes delivery, erection, dismantling, and collection - overrun charges can add up quickly if a job takes longer than expected.

About Westray

Westray is one of the larger northern isles of Orkney, with a population of around 600 making it one of the most viable island communities in Scotland.

The island has a thriving fishing industry based at the harbour of Pierowall, the main settlement, and agriculture remains central to island life with beef cattle and sheep farming predominating.

Noltland Castle, a ruined 16th-century Z-plan tower house on the edge of Pierowall, is one of the most heavily fortified castles of its type in Scotland, with an extraordinary number of gun loops built into its walls.

Westray is reached by ferry from Kirkwall or by air on the Loganair inter-island service, and the island has its own school, shops, heritage centre, and a strong community that sustains year-round island life.

About Orkney

Orkney coat of arms(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.
