Highland Stone

About

Stewart is from a little town in the highlands of Scotland called Lossiemouth. He has always been fascinated by historic stone architecture and took up an SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) Masonry apprenticeship after leaving school. His training covered everything from restoration of heritage buildings (including castles, abbeys and churches) and laying stone on new builds.

In 2006, Stewart moved to New Zealand and took up residence in the Waikato. He was one of the first people in the country to complete the new NZQA Certificate in Stonemasonry.

Following the Christchurch earthquakes, Stewart relocated to help with the extensive restoration work being undertaken. After working away from home for a couple of years, he returned to the Waikato and is based in Cambridge doing all types of stonework.

Testimonials

Thank you, Stewart!! We absolutely love our schist feature wall and hearth. It's better than I envisioned. Totally stoked with the attention and care to detail. I liken it to a piece of art.

Stewart is a master stonemason - anything he builds is a work of art - handpicked and shaped - and will outlast generations of us. I have often passed him as he is working on projects - works extremely hard - his work a constant source of admiration and appreciation for its beauty and quality.
