Questions people ask about Scotland

How many men's sheds are there in Scotland?

We list 130 (109 with a page of their own): Alford and District Men's Shed in Alford, Banchory and District Men’s Shed in Banchory, Barrhead Men's Shed in Barrhead, Carnoustie and Monifieth Men's Shed in Monifieth, Men's Shed Clydebank in Clydebank, Dalbeattie Men's Shed in Dalbeattie, Dumfries Men's Shed in Dumfries and Elgin & District Men's Shed in Elgin, and 101 more.

Which sheds in Scotland publish their opening times?

Banchory and District Men’s Shed, Barrhead Men's Shed, Carnoustie and Monifieth Men's Shed, Fochabers Men's Shed, Inverurie and District Men’s Shed and Lockerbie Men's Shed, and 52 more. For the others, check the shed's own page before you travel.

Are any open to everyone?

Aberchirder & District Men's Shed, Lybster Men's Shed and The Bird Box Community Workshop say in their own words that they are open to everyone. Plenty of others are too without saying so, so ask.

Is a shed the same as a course?

No. A shed is somewhere to join; a course is something to book. If you want teaching instead, or as well, there are 48 woodworking courses in Scotland on this site.
