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 Mid Yell
Mid Yell is the main village on the island of Yell, the second-largest of the Shetland Islands, lying between Mainland to the south and Unst to the north.
Yell has a population of around 750 people, and Mid Yell serves as the main settlement with a secondary school, a health centre, a leisure centre, and a small range of shops.
The island is characterised by its vast peat moorland — Yell is one of the largest areas of blanket bog in Europe — and its coastline is rich with otters, seals, and seabirds.
Yell is connected by ferry to Mainland at Toft in the south and to Unst at Gutcher in the north, making Mid Yell a natural stopping point on the journey to the most northerly islands.
About Shetland
Shetland is an archipelago of around 100 islands — 16 of them inhabited — lying roughly 110 miles north of the Scottish mainland and 210 miles west of Norway, making it the most northerly part of the United Kingdom.
Lerwick is the capital and only town of any size, a compact and characterful harbour settlement that serves as the administrative, commercial, and cultural centre of the islands. Around 7,000 of Shetland’s 23,000 residents live in and around the town.
Shetland’s economy has been shaped by the sea for centuries: fishing remains a major industry, and the arrival of North Sea oil at the Sullom Voe terminal in the 1970s brought prosperity that was carefully managed through a charitable trust that continues to fund services and infrastructure across the islands.
The landscape is treeless, wind-scoured, and dramatic — sea cliffs, voes (narrow inlets), tombolo beaches, and open moorland define the character of the islands, and nowhere in Shetland is more than three miles from the sea.
Shetland has a distinct cultural identity that draws on both Scottish and Norse heritage — the annual Up Helly Aa fire festival, the Shetland dialect, and the fiddle music tradition are central to island life, and the sense of community across the islands is strong and self-reliant.
