"Here's one I made earlier"

Lammermuir Pipe Organs workshop began in the former village school in the hamlet of Oldhamstocks which nestles among the hills at the eastern end of the Lammermuir Hills in East Lothian. In 1989 the building was enlarged by the addition of a fully-equipped machine room. As space was always somewhat limited, and also because of a fire in March 2000 which started in the machine room roof, a new workshop has been built in a stunning position overlooking the 12th century village church, and with panoramic views of the hills.
