Kingseat - free-standing wall and raised bed

We were asked to rebuild an old wall in Kingseat in Fife as part of the preparations for the judging of the Scotland in Bloom competition. The wall had pretty much fallen down along the 30 odd metres of it length.

Using the rough whinstone from the old wall, we rebuilt it to approximately 0.8m to the top of the copes (most of which required two of us to lift). At the end that abutted the main road, we created a lovely raised bed for the community to plant. Given that the stone is so mis-shapen, its amazing what can be achieved.

The client has passed on many favourable comments since the rebuild, including from the judges of the competition. Fingers crossed that Kingseat does well!

Wallers - Jason Hoffman and Richard Love.
