About Roughcasters

A roughcaster applies a textured external finish to buildings - the traditional Scottish harling that protects stone and blockwork walls from the weather while giving them a clean, uniform appearance.

Harling is one of Scotland's most common wall finishes and when it cracks, blows or starts to let in damp, getting it patched or replaced promptly prevents more expensive damage to the masonry underneath.

Ask whether they use traditional lime harling or modern cement render - on older stone buildings, lime-based finishes allow the walls to breathe and avoid the moisture problems that cement can cause.

Also covers:
  • harling
  • roughcasting
  • pebbledash
  • render
  • external wall coating

About Innerleithen

Innerleithen is a small town on the River Tweed between Peebles and Galashiels, known nationally as one of Scotland's premier mountain biking destinations.

The Innerleithen trails and nearby Glentress Forest form part of the 7stanes network and have hosted World Cup downhill events.

The town has a textile heritage - Robert Smail's Printing Works, run by the National Trust for Scotland, preserves a Victorian letterpress workshop in working order.

Innerleithen has a strong community spirit, an annual festival called the Cleikum Ceremonies and a high street with local shops and cafes.

St Ronan's Wells, the mineral spring that once made the town a spa destination, connects it to Sir Walter Scott's novel of the same name.

About Scottish Borders

Scottish Borders coat of arms(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.
