We've been striving to make "the best sheds in the world" since 1989.
Our timber garages, garden rooms and sheds are constructed from high-quality materials and designed to withstand the wild Scottish weather.
Our Show Area isn't just a salesroom - it's a beautiful testament to the dedication, skill, and high standards that G&M is built from.
We'd love to show your around!
"We have had a very positive experience with Gillies & Mackay. The salesmen were very knowledgeable and friendly. They took time to listen and address any questions we had without pressing us into a sale.
We have one of the new Radiata Garden Rooms and the team took care to build it to a high standard without, as far as we can tell, cutting any corners.
We are pleased with the professionalism of the Gillies & Mackay Team and our finished Garden Room."

"We are so happy with our Garden Room we bought in April this year. It is our little sanctuary where we can relax and chill out in peace.
Gillies & Mackay have been brilliant - the build work is professionally-done, the electrical people they put you in touch with were also great.
I would encourage everyone who was thinking of having a Garden Room to have a chat with Gillies & Mackay - you won't regret it.
The Garden Room is very versatile. It can also be an office or spare room - whatever you need it for. Money well-spent we feel. Thank you, Gillies & Mackay!"

"From beginning to end the team at Gillies & Mackay went out of their way to be helpful and supportive.
Cara in my first meeting was really clear and informative. Calum led the groundworks team and always kept me updated and suggested invaluable tweaks to my original plans. They had to build in quite a tricky area and be really mindful of neighbours close by - they left the site spotless, worked through horrible weather with never a complaint!
The quality and workmanship of both my shed and garden room is fantastic and I can't recommend the firm and its people highly enough!"
