Scottish Cobbles & Pebbles: An Overview
Scottish cobbles and pebbles are natural granite stones that are traditionally found along the river beds and coastlines of Scotland. Our Scottish stones are Caledonian stones which is another name for the Scottish Highlands.
The visual characteristics of these stones are smooth and round, which is the result of tumbling that occurs during the production process which replicates those found in nature which have been tumbled in rivers etc. This process gives the cobbles and pebbles an extremely alluring appearance, making Scottish pebbles and cobbles as visually stunning as they are purposeful.
Typical colours to expect in any batch include a mix of earthy tones such as greys, browns, creams and reds. When wet, the colour of these stones also become more pronounced offering an ever-changing landscape to enjoy all year round.
Popular usage ideas for Scottish pebbles and cobbles include landscaping features such as paths, borders of driveways, rockeries, water features and other decorative ideas. Larger cobbles can also be used to fill gabion baskets.
