After a number of detailed discussions with the Highland Council in relation to the standing chimney in the ‘drawing room’, we have now completed the works to preserve this part of the building. After erecting a structural scaffold around the chimney and gable, we then appointed masons from Harper and Allan Masonry Ltd to work to stabilize the structure without requiring it to be taken down and rebuilt. The chimney was at great risk of collapse and it is a huge accomplishment to have been able to complete this repair. The work took around 5 weeks to complete.
