Dry Stone Wall Repair in Rowardennan, Stirling.

Rebuild of a collapsed drystone wall in Rowardennan, park lodge.

A picturesque location, Along the shore of Loch Lomond. This 7m section of wall had collapsed after a storm knocked a tree down, along with a West Highland Way-er leaning on it causing more to tumble, just to add to insult.

The wall was made up of Slate, Schist and a small portion of quartz. These types of stone are all part of the local geolgy and would have been used by people of the passed to build walls and buildings.

While dismantling the wall the sins of previous builders made themselves appartent: Filled with soil rather than stone packing, foundations built on half cement while the other half on the soil, topped up with slate chips it was bound to this fate tree or no tree.

All original stone was used with some extra stone reclaimed from the old Mills Of Ross, just down the road.
