Traditional stonework is seen throughout the Scottish Countryside.
not only on our natural heritage sites but across estates and farmlands and throughout our villages and towns.
Reasons for maintaining these traditional methods of building and land infrastructure are predominantly for retaining the visual impact of the area and protecting the traditional ways of building that are easily lost with modern methods and materials.

Picking and Pointing
A.C.T use traditional mortars for picking and pointing works. We carry out these methods on traditional buildings, bridges and walls. They allow us to restore and future proof your projects without damaging the stonework we want to preserve. If you are interested in looking at options for your stonework get in touch with A.C.T Heritage for help with your project.
