“5 star - I cannot recommend Charles Taylor Woodwork enough, in fact I do - to whomever will listen. I have personally worked with Charles and the team for over 8 years on the restoration project at Marchmont, so have first hand experience of working with this passionate, meticulous and exceptionally talented team. We have worked on projects that are architecturally core to Marchmont to bespoke furniture that compliments our sensitive restoration and have never been let down. This is an extra-ordinary team and I not only recommend them but continue to seek projects to work with them on. If you get the chance I also highly recommend visiting the beautiful workshop in a converted church in Dalkeith - it is a treasure and inspiring in its own right, a fitting environment for the wonderful work that this team does.”

“Nothing in my time as Curator of The National Trust for Scotland has given me more pleasure than producing these handsome chairs for Pollock and to know they will grow more beautiful with the patina of use. One is always nervous of replicas because of an inevitable deadness but careful selection of walnut timber and meticulous craftsmanship renders them full of life.” 

Ian Gow - Former curator of The National Trust for Scotland
