The Heart of Scottish Craftsmanship: Scottish Wood Sawmill


Set in the heart of Fife, Scottish Wood’s sawmill is dedicated to sustainable forestry and quality craftsmanship. More than just a sawmill, it’s a place where builders, artisans, and woodworkers come together, all while supporting local environmental efforts and preserving Scotland’s natural beauty.


A Sawmill Like No Other


At Scottish Wood, our sawmill operates with precision and purpose. From locally sourced hardwoods to softwoods, every log that passes through our sawmill tells a story of Scotland’s natural heritage. We specialise in converting sustainably managed timber into high-quality products, including boards/planks, posts/beams, and bespoke cuts tailored for unique projects. Whether you’re building, crafting fine furniture, or looking for distinctive wood for home décor, our sawmill provides materials that are both beautiful and eco-conscious.


Sustainability at the Core


At our sawmill, quality wood goes hand in hand with responsible sourcing. We work closely with the Scottish forestry commission and local landowners, we ensure all our timber is ethically sourced from sustainably managed Scottish forests, making the most of our beautiful native hardwoods. By prioritising native species and reducing waste in the milling process, we uphold our commitment to environmental stewardship.

Our work extends beyond the sawmill, through our Mother Charity Dynamic Woods, we actively contribute to community forestry projects and environmental education initiatives. Dynamic Woods shares our vision of a greener Scotland, focussing on nature conservation, education and community based action.


We are proud to operate under the Scottish Working Woods label, a mark of quality and sustainability for homegrown timber. This ensures that our wood is responsibly sourced from well-managed Scottish forests, supporting local ecosystems and communities while reducing reliance on imported materials.

By choosing timber with the Scottish Working Woods label, customers can trust they are getting ethically harvested wood that meets high environmental standards. This initiative also helps to promote local craftsmanship, sustain rural jobs, and celebrate Scotland’s rich forestry heritage.
