Stonemasonry in Edinburgh
Stonemasonry is building and repairing in natural stone: dry stone walls, pillars, retaining walls, arches, chimneys and repointing. People need it when a wall bulges or sheds stone, a chimney head fails, or a garden needs proper stonework. Carpathian Craft build in stone across Edinburgh and about 20 miles around it. Quotes are free.
