28mm 18th Century Scottish buildings - Ideas?
Anyone got any recommendations for manufacturers of 28mm Scottish buildings? Not really looking for castles, more village style - probably have to be resin - or 3d printed. I am thinking of Black Houses and the cottage at Culloden Moor.
I suppose the alternative would be trying to figure out what Derby, Hexham etc looked like in the 1740s

I used the Grand Manner crofter’s cottages from their medieval range:

But that may not be much help now as Dave only does painted models at a fairly hefty price
Fortunately I bought mine years ago when they were just expensive.

If you can find them Hudson and Allen used to make a range of Scottish crofters houses. These guys have them in the USA but not sure about current availability. http://www.wargamescenics.com/products.html or http://www.wargamescenics.com/index.html They looked good in the raw when I saw them years ago.

It might be more work than you want but it might be worth a look at the Peter Dennis Paper Soldiers Book wargame the '45. It contains some Scottish buildings specific to the period - if you were to copy to card and mount on foamboard they might do you. I think they are scaled for 28mm but of course you can enlarge or reduce when you copy. There's also a "European Buildings: 28mm paper models for 18th & 19th century wargames" which might be useful when the action moves further south.
The Dressing the Lines blog has posts and pictures of buildings from both books - the '45 stuff is at

and if you are a fan of Hamish and Dougal, the Big Hoose might come in handy.

Emperor Toads Emporium has a Flodden-era "village" (actually a small farmhouse, a barn and some walls). Looks ok, but not as good as the H&A stuff.

Thanks chaps.. all useful grist to the mill. The H&A I don't believe are available in the UK, and the Grand Manner stuff is way too pricey for my taste.
I think it might be scratch building then.. after all... how hard could it be? :o

And with Claypotts Castle virtually next door, a Z plan tower might be fun to build too.

I thought the Campbells demolished them all in the highland clearances?
