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.
