Enthusiastically joined a group of wallers in October of 2023 and 2019 to journey to Canna, a small island in the Inner Hebrides off of Scotland to repair historic walls that are functional and essential to the one farm on the island. This process of repairing failed sections of a wall is called “gapping” and is an excellent learning experience for any North American waller as we get firsthand experience seeing how traditional walls have been built and why they have failed in certain spots. There were several different styles of wall on the island including some magnificent “Galloway" walls.
