– THE FAMILY HISTORY –

Where it all began…

The family business was started in 1945 by Robert Millar in a small blacksmith workshop in Dunshalt, Fife, where he employed another journey man and an apprentice. In those days, it was common place to run many different trades from one small workshop, such as shoeing horses and gate making to erecting sheds and repairing implements. It was not unusual to see 20 Clydesdales queuing up on the street to be shod when the weather prevented farmers from working the land. As the firm grew busier, we built larger premises just along the road and as we began to win prizes at the Royal Highland show and the agricultural shows for workmanship, things began to change.

The Second Generation

His son David (Senior) started his apprenticeship in 1954 and like his father, soon became a natural. While hard gritty work, David got stuck in and was soon crafting things for the National Trust for Scotland’s Castles.  But as time moved on, David secured contracts from house builders and focused on making gates and railings. The business continued to thrive and through hard work and innovation, RM Blacksmiths was building an unrivalled reputation.

RM Blacksmiths Today

David (Junior) started his apprenticeship in 1992 and like the two generations before him, he quickly became a highly skilled blacksmith with the drive and determination to take his business to the next level.  With increasing market competition and a changing industry, David expanded his products and services to stay ahead of the game, resulting in major housing contracts, as well as luxury national brands choosing RM Blacksmiths as partners in delivering an integrated business solution, for an array of clients, all over Scotland. With a ‘nothings a problem’ approach and passion for producing the best results, David’s business continues to thrive.
