No metalworker listed in Heriot yet.

A metalworker forges and fabricates metalwork - gates, railings, handrails, fire baskets, brackets and bespoke decorative ironwork for homes, gardens and commercial properties.

Scotland has a strong tradition of ornamental ironwork and a skilled metalworker can produce pieces that are both functional and distinctive in a way that factory-made alternatives never are.

For listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, a metalworker who understands heritage specifications can produce work that satisfies planning requirements while matching the character of the original.

Heriot is a village in the northern Borders, sitting in the Heriot Water valley close to the boundary with Midlothian.

The village is one of the most northerly settlements in the Scottish Borders, with Gorebridge and Pathhead in Midlothian just a few miles to the north.

Heriot has a primary school and a community hall and the surrounding landscape is upland grazing land on the edge of the Moorfoot Hills.

The village's position between Edinburgh and the central Borders, close to the A7, gives it a practical if remote setting.

The Scottish Borders is the largest council area in southern Scotland, stretching from the edge of Edinburgh and East Lothian in the north to the English border in the south.

It is a landscape of rolling hills, river valleys and market towns - the Tweed, Teviot, Ettrick and Yarrow rivers carve through countryside that has been fought over, farmed and written about for centuries.

Hawick and Galashiels are the largest towns, but the region's character is shaped by a string of smaller burghs - Kelso, Jedburgh, Peebles, Melrose and Selkirk - each with its own abbey ruins, common riding traditions, or rugby loyalties.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Tweedbank and Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley, bringing the northern Borders within commuting distance of the capital for the first time in decades.

The region is known for its textile heritage, its abbeys and an outdoor culture built around hill walking, fishing, mountain biking and rugby - a place where community identity runs deep and the landscape is never far away.
