Plastering will fix small cracks in walls. Very small cracks may be fixed by simply reskimming plaster. More serious cracks will usually mean that you need to use new plasterboard or backing plaster. Larger jobs or deep cracks may need an experienced plasterer to come in.
Canonbie
Canonbie (population 390) is a little village in Dumfriesshire within the local authority area of Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland, six miles southern of Langholm and two miles north of the Anglo-Scottish boundary. It gets on the A7 roadway from Carlisle to Edinburgh, as well as the River Esk flows through it. There are constant referrals in older records to it as Canobie. Canonbie was eternalized in a poem by Sir Walter Scott entitled Marmion. A well-known section covers the exploits of young Lochinvar. Having taken the hand of the bride-to-be of Netherby Hall, about 3 miles south of Canonbie, the dashing knight is gone after with Canonbie, but makes good his getaway.
