Welcome to Dry Stone Designs

Scotland has some of the oldest and most beautiful stone walls and buildings in the World. Those built in drystone, without any mortar, are often considered the most appealing. The skills used in building in drystone are ancient. The workmanship reflects not only the nature of the ground and the stone being used, but also the experience, skill and creativity of the dyker.

Stone features or drystone sculptures are seen by many as a form of art. They can bring life and character to almost any stretch of garden or ground, and when built with seats, create a place in which to sit and relax. Some can be incorporated into existing stonework. A freestanding feature, can however, have the greatest visual effect.

Drystone walling is a technique used to build walls with only stone and no cement mortar. The impact of what can be built can be stunning, but only if well designed. Two things are required: a technical ability to build in dry stone: and more importantly, an artistic ability and a good eye.
