Castles
renovating and repairing Scottish castles
As experienced conservation architects in Scotland, it’s natural that we work on castles from time to time. But what do we mean by a Scottish castle? The term can refer to anything from the faded yet still grand ancient ruins of something like Eilean Donan on its own island and visited daily, to the splendour of a Victorian baronial residence like Balmoral or a hotel like Gleneagles, and even to a modern turreted lodge built purely for pleasure in the Highlands.
One thing is for certain, is that whatever Scottish castle you’re thinking of, we have the architectural skills to work on it. Whether that’s in terms of assessing your castle to compile a conservation report, condition report, perform repairs, renovations, or any form of extension or alternation work. Just let us know what you’re thinking of, and we’ll help you decide what’s best for your building, and what can be achieved in terms of regulations and what’s right for it in terms of type of work and style.
