Hi
Does anyone have photographs of flagstone slab sheds or byre dividers , water tanks, etc.?
By this I mean large, upright single Caithness flags.
I'm writing an article on them and any pics will be credited.

Cheers.

Reckon North Light would be your best bet.

I have just converted one into a chicken shed

The slabs are well over 3 inches thick and have been a nightmare to cut to put a hatch in! The chuck love it The best thing about it is that it is soundproof so the cockrel doesn't wake us up

Edit - not finished yet so looks a bit naff...

Leanne -
Good shed !
Any closeups especially the corner.
Cheers

Will take tomorrow - the corners have pieces of metal that are like L brackets and have big bolts attaching them. The inside is wood frame that has none left at the bottom - just for display now

. It's still solid though

Old caithness flag stone water tank

Thanks for the photo.
Nice water tank. Since it has been moved partially off its base you can see the locating grooves in the base.
Do you think you could clean the base up to show this more clearly ?? This would be much appreciated !!

Any more pictures anyone ??
