Stone Upon Stone — rebuilding a wall on Papa Stronsay

Drystone walls need attention now and again to keep them in good condition. Some of the many walls on Papa Stronsay were built or repaired with speed in mind rather than quality, and so they don't last as long as they should. This wall was damaged by some sheep. Although the hole they created by jumping over wasn't enormous in itself, this section of wall was in great need of attention anyway. Br Ernest, our stonemason, stripped the wall back until he reached sound sections on both sides, and then rebuilt it from the ground up. Here, Br Ernest and Br Xavier complete the last stones of the wall. Other photos and the full story can be viewed on our blog: https://papastronsay.blogspot.com/202...
