The Roderick Dhu Lookout Tower at Loch Katrine

A truly special project, inspired by the birthplace of Scottish tourism. With a unique blend of challenges — the remarkable location, its rich historical context, and the complex, remote build — we set out to document the journey of bringing this lookout tower to life. From processing the timber in our Norfolk workshop to helicopter drops of materials on the hilltop site, every step was an adventure worth sharing.
