Newport-on-Tay Whinstone rebuild, laid in lime mortar.


Rebuild of boundary wall formed of Whinstone in a random style to match style of the local vernacular. The wall measured 19500 x 1600 (62.4m2 in total) built with a slight batter rather than plumb. This was to match the original design of the wall.


All of the original stone was used without the need to purchase additional stone. The wall was finished with a lime mortar haunch that was cut back with a subtle undercut to act as protection. In addition, metalwork was installed to allow for future custodians of the property to grow indigenous plants or add security fencing / wire. Drainage points were built equidistantly along the wall to allow for water to pass through without damage to the integrity of the structure.


Below is an image captured of the working area on arrival.
