Some good info on this site; http://www.visitscotland.com/

Yeah,I started a thread in the 'Garage Gallery'. As to sightseeing,the list is endless,though Edinburgh Castle is a must.The chapel there dates back to the 1400's.Also, Stirling Castle,is well worth a visit.St Mary's Close is pretty spooky.It's the remnants of the 'old' Edinburgh overwhich the...

Just found this thread,great job Fergus.Nice to see your old building being saved and given a new lease of life.I'm in the process of converting a derelict 150 year old Scottish farm cottage into my new garage/workshop. I too married into a Scottish family(30 years ago) so,I feel your pain!LOL

I'm a steel fabricator and built my own steel work benches as it was far cheaper than buying them in.It would be interesting to know the difference between the price of the bench compared to the price of materials to make one. londonsteve,you're absolutely correct,nobody likes Millwall!!LOL...

I don't think Kevin would approve of my plan!!:bounce:

Just for you Kevin! As you can see,nowhere near finished! '29 Roadster pick -up,traditional style but with a hot 289 and T10 4-speed. Mor-drop front axle,F100 brakes and steering,'40 rims and black wall Firestones.Bed has been shortened by 6 inches.Can't wait to get it into it's new home!

Thanks!Yes,particularly the outside.All goes well,it should,from the outside,look like what was known locally as a 'gig house'.Basically,they were buildings which looked like a cottage but would have a tac room,possibly accommodation for the stable lad and a large pair of barn-type doors on the...

The cottage is in a pretty bad state,but repairable.Here's a shot of the inside,and yes,that's the electricity meter hanging by a rope from the roof!:shocking: Since pulling out the timber flooring,which was rotten,I've been filling up the space with rubble from any building work I do on the...

Hi all! Thought you might be interested in my garage project. About 7 1/2 years ago,my wife and I bought this old farm house to renovate,built in 1891.Still looks as bad,if not worse,than when we moved in! We're still working on the house and hope to be finished soon.The house came with about...

I'd agree with the guys who suggested using an angle grinder.Use the thin,1mm cutting disc designed for cutting stainless steel.They cut fast and accurate,so there's little heat build-up,and a clean cut edge.

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas! flatheadguy,as for the ladies,I'm originally from the south of England,married my Scots wife nearly 30 years ago.I'm too scared to leave!LOL ddawg16,Scots women are great,they can really hold their drink and there's nobody I'd rather have on my side in a bar...

Thanks for the welcome.Know what you're saying.It's actually pretty solid considering the neglect it's had over the years and I don't think it'll take too much to get it usable.It's gonna make a great home for the '29 roadster pick-up I'm building!

Ha Ha!There's a fair amount of these old houses still standing over here,some a lot older. And thanks,I'll need all the luck I can get! Couple more pics; As you can see,it needs a bit of TLC.

Hi all! Came here via the H.A.M.B. Just started to convert my old derelict cottage(built 1860) into my new garage. What a dump! Cheers, Mark.
