Never enough of Christmas Jumpers! 🎄🥳 👕🎁🔔
We have decided to get a little bit silly for a seriously good cause.
Just before Christmas we organised Christmas Jumper Day which bring us full of joy end of 2025.
We’ve collected £200. We hope this contribution helps make a difference for children who need it most.
It was fantastic to see festive jumpers, big smiles, and team spirit across the offices.
Thank you so much for all our Team.
Wellwood Leslie Architects just renewed the Cyber Essentials certification, confirming that our digital systems and data protection measures remain robust and secure for another year.
This accreditation reinforces our continued commitment to maintaining strong cybersecurity standards and safeguarding the information entrusted to us by our clients and partners.
Wellwood Leslie Architects are delighted to see the recent completion of the St Vincents development providing 21 no. much needed modern, affordable, and sustainable homes in the East End of Dundee. Built by Campion Homes for Angus Housing Association the project is located on the site of the former St Vincent’s Primary School on Pitkerro Road, which was demolished in 2019. The location offers excellent transport links and proximity to local retail and greenspace contributing to the Scottish Government’s desire for 20 minute neighbourhoods.
We are delighted to obtain planning approval for the development of 31no. affordable rented residential units on Clepington Road in Dundee. This development provides much-needed affordable housing for the city and is a partnership between Campion Homes and Abertay Housing Association.
The development offers a variety of 2 & 3-bed houses as well as cottage flats and a single wheelchair accessible bungalow. Several units are designed to allow future adaptation to meet the needs of ambulant disabled users should this be required.
As part of the sustainability requirements, a fabric first design approach was taken to the design of these dwellings, which are all to silver standard aspects 1&2. Heating and hot water are provided by air source heat pumps with energy use offset from micro renewable energy generation through roof mounted photovoltaics. EV charging infrastructure is provided to each dwelling to allow future installation of charging points by the occupants.
Careful consideration was given to the ecology of the site to enhance biodiversity. Integration and extension of the adjacent Miley Nature Reserve into the site also sought to enhance use of this beneficial green asset for residents. Greenspace on the site accounts for around 27% of the overall site area with garden ground boosting this to well over 50%, therefore offering an overall net gain in biodiversity.
We look forward to delivering this project over the next year with Campion Homes and Abertay Housing Association.
Wellwood Leslie Architects have recently secured planning approval for 12 new homes for Angus Housing Association at Guthrie Street, Friockheim, Angus. The new development will replace The Lunan Park Resource Centre formerly owned by Angus Council.
The Wellwood Leslie Team completed the Dundee Kilt Walk 2024.
Spirits were high on the day, along with the temperature.
A few sore muscles and a couple of blisters were picked up along the way and it was all worth it.
The further we walked the tougher it got, but one thing that kept us going was knowing so many of you donated. Whether you are a family member, a close friend, or know us through work, we cannot thank you enough for all your generosity, it really gave us motivation to finish.
Community Fundraiser at Aberlour Children’s Charity has been in contact and has directly noted every penny of your donation that will make a huge difference to disadvantaged children in Scotland and they couldn’t be more grateful to you for choosing to support Aberlour. The monies raised will allow them to continue their vital services and give every child the best possible start in life.
Our just giving page is still LIVE and donations are still coming in. If you still have not donated and can spare a few pounds please do.
Once again thank you very much for your support.

This Sunday we will be participating the Dundee Kiltwalk 2024 on behalf of Aberlour, Scotland’s Children’s Charity!
While some of the Team have chosen the green landscapes of Stirling for pre-walk training and looked in at Aberlour’s offices at Forthside, some of us have been training independently, and some of us will be shocked on the day! Nevertheless, we are all meeting this weekend to walk in support of a great cause.
We want to thank you for your fundraising support, it is incredibly heartwarming to know you are all with us. All funds raised will go directly to Aberlour, Scotland’s Children’s Charity, with every penny counting.
There’s still time to donate so if you can spare a few pounds and want to help support Aberlour and the incredible work they do, simply go to link.
Thank you once again, see you on the Kiltwalk!
Wellwood Leslie have completed a feasibility study in conjunction with the University of Dundee School of Medicine to investigate the opportunity for a specialist surgical skills research and teaching facility to be constructed at Dundee Medi-Park.
The Jacqui Wood Cancer Centre is a medical research facility located at Ninewells Teaching Hospital in Dundee. The building suffered a catastrophic cladding failure in 2021, just 12 years after completion.
Wellwood Leslie worked with the University team to understand the causes of failure and to identify the most appropriate means by which the cladding could be replaced.
