About

I am one of the few practitioners of the thatching styles found on the "Celtic fringe" of the Scottish Highlands, the Western Isles, Ireland and the islands in between. I only use traditional materials and fixing techniques and I'm particularly devoted to buildings of historical value. I do sometimes get called to do reed thatching, which is a Lowland style.
