⛩️ Fencer in Newcastleton, Scottish Borders

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 Newcastleton

Newcastleton is a planned village in Liddesdale, deep in the southern Borders about 24 miles south of Hawick and close to the English border.

It was laid out in the 1790s by the Duke of Buccleuch as a weaving village, and its grid-pattern streets and central square remain intact.

The village is surrounded by Newcastleton Forest, one of the largest planted forests in the Borders and a growing mountain biking destination.

Newcastleton has a strong community identity — its annual Traditional Music Festival is one of the best-known folk events in southern Scotland.

The village is remote by Borders standards, but that remoteness is part of its appeal for those who value quiet countryside and a tight-knit community.

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.
