Community

We are a registered Scottish Charity, and our aim is to promote the craft of Drystone walling in our community. We do this by developing partnerships with community organisations. We design and build dry stone features which will enhance the community environment, and provide a showcase for dry stone walling.

Project proposals and ideas are welcomed which fit with these aims, and can be put forward to the committee at any time.

Training

If you want to learn dry stone walling then visit our training page. We run a regular programme of training courses during the year for beginners. The courses are very popular and make an excellent gift idea.

Our trainees are from a wide range of ages and background. Our experienced team of instructors will take you through our beginners training courses.

For our more experienced wallers, we have interesting and challenging projects throughout the year.

Why learn the craft of Dry Stone Walling?

You may have your own project in mind at home, or you may want to know more about the dykes and walls you see as you drive through the countryside. You may be a farmer who wants to make sure of a proper job when you hire a contractor to rebuild a dyke or two. You may like puzzles, or perhaps you simply know someone who would like to go on a course?
