Dumbarton Castle will reopen to visitors in ‘early spring’ after being closed for almost a year.
The venue was closed by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) last year, as they carried out work to analyse the extent of masonry deterioration.
Access restrictions were put in place last January as a safety precaution while HES, who manages the site, introduced new measures to manage the impact of climate change on buildings in its care, an issue which is affecting heritage owners globally.
