New Car Park Information Sign

We are pleased to announce the erection of the new information sign at the Castle car park.  We hope this will give visitors an introduction to the  Castle .

New Fence Erection April 2009

In the interst of the safety of visitors to the Castle a new fence is to be erected outwith the Castle at the bottom of the steps.  Works will be being carried out during the week 27th April to 1st May 2009.  We hope these works will not cause too much inconvenience and trust visitors will understand the necessity of this work. 

Cliff Stabilisation 2008

Following an inspection of the cliffs and as recommended by the surveyors in September of 2008 a programme of cliff stabilisation was carried out to the Lion's Den and the cliff face next to Benholm's Lodgings by specialist contractors.  These works were required in order to prevent any future slippage  of the cliff face which would have had a detrimental effect to the builings above.

Although a somewhat  industrial procedure, with the spring vegetation growth the wire mesh is already becoming hidden and in time is anticipated to be hidden completely.
