A stunning castle that lies just over half an hour from Glasgow, and was famously where William Wallace was taken following his capture in 1305, is set to reopen following repairs.
The imposing Dumbarton Castle, which sits at the bottom of the picturesque Dumbarton Rock, was recently closed at the beginning of 2022 as a safety precaution by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) after the site was identified as being dangerous to the staff and public.
The stronghold in West Dunbartonshire will reportedly reopen early this spring, following the completion of high-level masonry inspections, according to the Daily Record, with new measures introduced to mitigate the impact of climate change on its heritage assets.
