⛩️ Fencer in Heriot, Scottish Borders
This one’s up for grabs.
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 Heriot
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.
About Scottish Borders
(opens in new tab)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.
