Glenskinno Farm
We’ve worked with Kevin and Kat on several steel-framed buildings at Glenskinno Farm, including a grain store and a biomass facility, and the experience has been first class throughout.
They took time to understand exactly what we required and what problem we were trying to overcome on the farm. The process was clear from the start, all the approvals were handled for us, and there were no surprises along the way.
Having someone you can trust to take the hassle away and get things done properly is invaluable. I’d have no hesitation in recommending The Farmers Architect to other farmers looking to invest in new buildings.”

At Glenskinno Biofuels, near Montrose, The Farmers Architect was appointed to design a new purpose-built steel shed to house a modern biomass boiler facility, including pellet feed systems and on-site fuel storage. The project forms a key part of the farm’s wider commitment to renewable energy and low-carbon heat production, supporting both on-site operations and the supply of sustainable biomass fuel to customers across the region.
The building was designed around the specific operational requirements of the biomass system, accommodating the boiler plant, automated pellet handling equipment, and safe, efficient storage volumes within a robust agricultural steel portal frame. Careful consideration was given to circulation, servicing access, fire separation, and integration of the plant within a busy rural farm environment, ensuring the structure is highly functional, durable, and appropriate to its setting.
From planning through to detailed design, The Farmers Architect focused on delivering a practical, future-proofed facility that supports Glenskinno Biofuels’ long-term energy ambitions. The completed shed provides a clean, efficient, and well-organised hub for biomass production, reinforcing the farm’s role in Scotland’s renewable energy transition and demonstrating how well-designed agricultural buildings can support modern low-carbon infrastructure.
