Welcome to Borthwick Decorators Aberfoyle
Borthwick Decorators has painted Aberfoyle homes since 1959 — slate-village cottages and stone homes, and country property through the Trossachs and Loch Ard forest. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, rated 4.9/5 from 175+ verified reviews.
Slate-village stone, Trossachs country.
Aberfoyle sits at the heart of the Trossachs, an old slate-quarry village strung along its Main Street with country property spreading out through the Loch Ard forest and up into the hills. It is a small, exposed, much-visited place where the stone and render take hard weather and the holiday and hospitality trade keeps premises in regular need of decorating.
We handle interior and exterior decoration, sash window work and period finishes for village and country property. Same foreman across the job, daily clean-up, and a fixed quote agreed before we start.

ABOUT ABERFOYLE
The gateway to the Trossachs.
Aberfoyle grew as a slate-quarry village and became a Trossachs holiday base, a small Main Street of stone and render surrounded by forest, loch and hill country. Strictly in Perthshire, it shares the exposed-property challenge and the visitor trade of the wider Trossachs — work that has to stand up to weather and fit around the season.
We have decorated across Aberfoyle since 1959. CHAS, SDF and PDA accredited, residential and commercial, with the exposed-exterior and period experience the area needs and the same foreman from quote to final inspection.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Working with us in Aberfoyle.
Do you cover country property through the Trossachs and Loch Ard?
Yes — cottages, lodges and country homes through the forest and hills are a regular part of our Aberfoyle work, and we coordinate access to remote sites.
Can you handle exposed Trossachs exterior work?
We can. Weather-facing property needs proper preparation and breathable, durable systems, which is how we do exterior work here.
Do you repaint original timber windows?
Wherever the timber is sound — repair, repaint and draught-proof, replacing cills only where rot demands it.
Where are you based, and is there a travel charge?
We have a Perth office and have served Perthshire and the Trossachs since 1959. Aberfoyle is part of our regular run — no separate travel charge, and the quote is the price.
How quickly can you start?
Usually four to six weeks for residential work. We confirm the date when we quote.
