Collessie, Fife - free-standing dry stone wall, terraces and steps


The client in Collessie is undertaking a transformation of their garden and was keen for stone work to feature prominently. The re-development will take place in phases, and the first two parts are shown here.

Using stone supplied from a dismantled house in the Crieff area, we rebuilt some dry stone terraces in the garden. A wide set of steps were built as the main feature, and brick lights were built into the lower terraces to illuminate the stone work at night time. There are also some little additional touches built into the terraces such as the wee stairs and the seat.

The long free-standing wall (30m by up to 1.5m tall) replaced an iron fence, and now provides a lovely backdrop to the garden.
