The houses here

What Lockerbie is actually built of.

Lockerbie is a Dumfriesshire market town on the main line north, with a sandstone centre and a wide farming hinterland behind it running up into the Moffat hills. The properties we are asked about there are mostly farmhouses and older stone houses, with the occasional steading conversion.

Steading conversions have the same problem as the Cumbrian barns: a beautiful big room with no square corner in it. The advantage of making the furniture is simply that a wall being out by forty millimetres over three metres stops being a problem and becomes a dimension on a drawing.

Questions from Lockerbie

Do you work as far north as Lockerbie?

Yes. It is towards the outer edge of the area we cover in Dumfriesshire, and work up there is generally planned as a single programme rather than split across several visits.

What happens when a steading wall is not straight?

It gets measured, and the measurement goes on the drawing. A wall out by forty millimetres over three metres will defeat a run of standard carcasses and will not trouble furniture that was cut to that wall in the first place.
