Macleod Roofing has been named the winner of the Heritage Roofing category at the 2026 NFRC Scottish Roofing Awards, recognising the team’s outstanding work on Tigh-Nan-Ubhal in Tongue, Sutherland.
The award was presented at the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow on Friday 30 October, where roofing contractors from across Scotland came together to celebrate some of the industry’s best projects and workmanship.
It was a particularly successful year for Macleod Roofing, with three projects shortlisted across three different categories, highlighting the breadth of skills and experience within the company.
Award-Winning Heritage Roofing in Tongue
The winning project, Tigh-Nan-Ubhal, involved re-roofing the property using reclaimed Ballachulish slate, a traditional Scottish roofing material known for its durability and distinctive appearance.
Heritage roofing requires a particular level of skill and attention to detail, especially when working with reclaimed materials and traditional roofing methods.
The project in Tongue is an excellent example of the specialist craftsmanship within Macleod Roofing, with the team delivering a roof that respects the character of the property while providing the protection expected from a professionally installed roofing system.
Winning the Heritage Roofing category is a significant achievement and well-deserved recognition for the team responsible for delivering the project.
Three Projects Shortlisted at the 2026 NFRC Scottish Roofing Awards
Alongside the winning project in Tongue, Macleod Roofing received recognition for two further projects, each demonstrating a different area of roofing expertise.
Green Roofing: Royal Dornoch Golf Club
Macleod Roofing was shortlisted in the Green Roofing category for its work on the new clubhouse at Royal Dornoch Golf Club.
The installation of a specialist green roofing system involved detailed planning, coordination and technical expertise to deliver a living roof as part of the clubhouse development.
Single Ply Roofing: Achmelvich Cottage
The company’s work at Achmelvich Cottage was also shortlisted in the Single Ply category.
Situated in an exposed coastal location in the north-west Highlands, the project required a roofing solution suited to the conditions. Single ply roofing was selected as an alternative to zinc, providing an appropriate solution for the property’s setting.
Together, the three shortlisted projects demonstrate Macleod Roofing’s ability to deliver a wide range of roofing systems, from traditional heritage slating through to modern single ply and green roofing installations.
Recognition for the Team Behind the Projects
The award is a proud achievement for Macleod Roofing and, most importantly, for the people involved in delivering the work.
Neil Holden, who helped oversee all three shortlisted projects, was involved in coordinating materials, managing project programmes and ensuring quality standards were maintained throughout.
Each project presented different requirements and challenges, drawing on the experience and expertise of teams across the business.
To have three projects recognised by the NFRC, and to bring home the Heritage Roofing award, is a fantastic result for everyone involved.
A huge well done to the team behind Tigh-Nan-Ubhal and to everyone who contributed to all three shortlisted projects.
