A rare, dry, sunny day was a welcome relief by all as the stone work nears completion on site just in time for the timber that will be arriving in Ellon tomorrow.

The near-complete rubble wall with the cope stone, ready to start pointing.

Matt and Billy work on timber for the seats in the Scotia workshop in Ellon and bring one to look at in situ. They take measurements from the built rubble walls to continue working on the other 11 seats.

Since we now know the rarity of such a dry day, Andrew takes advantage and begins pointing the completed portions of walls.

Owen continues dressing the large pieces of stone for the remaining walls and the mixer is on all day making batches of mortar for the pointing and the walls.

A few pictures of sunny Ellon as the neighbourhood context to the site in Gordon Park:

Cleaning up the site with the walls nearly complete.
