The work was expertly carried out by Bryan Leach, a member and Trustee of Falkland Gardening Group, a local charity that enhances the visual appearance of Falkland by planting a number of troughs and beds in Falkland as well as providing space for 14 allotments in the heart of the village.

Other organisations who helped in the project were Lindores’ Scottish Sawmilling Services, and The Smithy at Dunsheld, enabling the group to complete the project with locally sourced wood and metal supports.
