Cromartie Timber Limited

Responsibly Sourced Scottish Wood

At Cromartie we only use responsibly sourced Scottish wood. The main types we use are larch, oak, elm and Douglas-fir.

Larch
Larch is a conifer native to Scotland, and grows from 15 to 50m in height. Although a conifer, the larch is a deciduous tree and loses its leaves in the autumn.

Oak
With hundreds of species, oak is an extremely popular wood native to Scotland. It is hard, open grained, heavy, tough and strong. It is durable even in contact with moisture.

Elm
Elm has a rich, brown colour, and is highly grained and resistant to moisture. Although popular for building furniture, elm commonly gets used for construction, particularly in wet conditions, like fish ladders, sluice gates and other submerged structures. In the past, these properties made elm perfect for coffins!

Douglas-fir
The common name Douglas-fir honours David Douglas, the Scottish botanist who first introduced the tree into cultivation at Scone Palace in 1827. Most people would recognise a Douglas-fir as a Christmas tree.

Flooring
We produce our own Scottish Larch flooring, which is beautiful and hard-wearing. We can also supply Scottish oak to special order.

We also supply oak flooring, in good lengths and widths, made in French or Belgian oak, from fully certified FSC sources.

Construction
We specialise in the production of fine sawn cladding, beams and pillars in locally sourced Scottish Larch and Douglas fir for a range of construction uses.

We can supply, direct or subcontracted, items like large beams, oak buffers and shaped parts for bridge construction and the oil and turbine industry. All queries welcome.
