The History of Dry stone dyking
Dry stone dykes (walls) goes back many hundreds of years. Built without mortar, these sturdy walls provide habitat for small animals, lichens and mosses. The stones gathered from the fields were built into dry stone walls to form majestic field boundaries.

Stone walls, stone features and water features are a rural art form seen throughout Scotland & Northern England. Each wall brings a unique character to the stone used and when built professionally creates an imposing natural beauty to gardens, grounds and boundary walls.

In Scotland & the Borders towns (Galashiels, Melrose, Selkirk, Kelso) the term "Drystone dyker" is used.

Despite the differing terms used Neil Moffat designs & builds stunning dry stone work across Scotland.
