Brantford Siding Co works in Scotland and the farmland around it.
A village with an industrial past
Scotland began as Malcolm’s Mills, founded by the Malcolm family, Scottish pioneers who settled here and built the mill the settlement took its name from. The post office opened in 1852 under the name Scotland, a name suggested by Janet Graham. An 1894 map shows the village straddling the boundary between Burford Township and Oakland Township, which is an unusual piece of geography for a place this size.
It was a busier place than its present size suggests. Scotland was a post village on Malcolm Creek with two churches, a furniture factory, ten stores, a hotel, a saw mill and a cheese factory, and it had its own Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway station. The T.H.&B. began limited operation in May 1895 and was running Toronto to Buffalo service by May 1897.
What that means for the buildings
Villages with that kind of history have buildings that reflect it, and building stock of real age needs looking at rather than assuming. Older walls frequently turn out to have board sheathing instead of sheet, framing on irregular spacing, and no water-resistive barrier behind the cladding at all. None of that is a problem, but all of it changes how a wall gets rebuilt, and it is the reason we look at a house before quoting rather than pricing from a description over the phone.
Working west of the city
Scotland sits 8 km west of Brantford on Highway 53, in open country. Burford Township, which takes in the village, is one of the oldest centres of habitation in southwestern Ontario, with settlement dating from 1793.
The practical consideration out here is exposure. Away from built-up streets, wind loading is higher, and County of Brant winters deliver intense snowfall with northwesterly gusts near 70 km/h. Fastening discipline is what carries a wall through that, along with eavestrough hung properly on sound fascia so that meltwater actually gets away rather than freezing in a run that does not drain.

Siding Questions from Scotland Homeowners
How far is Scotland from Brantford?
About 8 km west along Highway 53, which is a short run for us. Being close matters on a job like siding, because it means we can get back quickly if something needs attention after the work is done.
Do you work on rural properties around the village?
Yes. Scotland is a village surrounded by working farmland, and a good share of what we do out this way is on properties with outbuildings as well as a house. Barns, workshops and storage buildings all get clad.
What is the winter like for exterior work?
County of Brant winters bring intense snowfall with northwesterly winds gusting near 70 km/h and blowing snow, with temperatures reaching -15°C or colder. On an open site west of the city that means real wind loading, which affects how tightly we fasten and how carefully each course is locked in.
Do you take small jobs out here?
Yes. A leaking eavestrough joint or a few cracked panels is worth a visit. Not every call has to turn into a replacement quote.
