Flatfield Farm, by Errol

There is a unique mud wall steading at Flatfield Farm. This is a traditional building technique which, although there are perhaps 50 examples in the area, is distinctly ‘at risk’.

The Tay Landscape Partnership's four year programme of work in the Carse of Gowrie and beyond intends, as just one strand in its wide range of projects, to address the lack of ‘mud masons’, the use of inappropriate modern repairs and the overall misunderstandings about this craft skill which ought to be celebrated as the most ‘green’ building technique ever.

At Flatfield the barn will, in due course, be surveyed and recorded by volunteers and the repairs will be undertaken as a training exercise.

Join the Trust’s architect to view the unique mud wall steading at Flatfield Farm (on the North side of the A90 opposite the Errol turn off).

Stout footwear recommended due to some uneven surfaces.
