About-us

Westhill Men’s Shed was the first to be formed in Scotland following the Australian model in 2013. We were looking for a building to have the shed in when the Westhill library moved to new premises and, supported by the council, the building was transferred to us as a lease for a peppercorn rent. We initially set up the workshop for woodworking with a single ‘dirty bench’ for metal working. We soon found that many men had their careers in engineering related to the oil industry and so converted about 1/3  of the workshop to metal working and engineering. 

As we became more successful we were running out of room and so purchased a Portakabin (TM) which is now our social area and the workshops expanded.

You can see the Portakabin being installed on the News page of this website.

We are a charity registered in Scotland SC042663
Here are our annual reports for those interested in the finance of our shed.
