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.

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.
