Defending the Bridge – a new way to support the protection of Dunans Bridge
Posted by Charles Dixon-Spain on
Over the last six months the bridge has come under threat both physically and in law. ScottishLaird has therefore decided to create a line of products based on artwork created by the Laird. The personalised items include certificates, t-shirts and canvas wall art. Simply search for 'defender' in the search box to learn more.

Charles Recommends The Conservation Plan for All New Lairds and Ladies
Posted by Charles Dixon-Spain on
If you want to know more about Dunans and the project to restore both the castle and the bridge, then the Conservation Plan, published in 2014 has all the detail you could ask for, including the history of Dunans, its heraldry and a full condition survey from 2013. Charles recommends the book as the definitive account of Dunans Castle from 1590 to the present day, especially if you are unable to visit to learn about the project firsthand. For more information on the project and our efforts to restore the castle you can watch our videos here -> https://youtube.com/@CharlesDixonSpain
