THE Scottish Government has announced an extra £6.6 million to help conserve Scotland’s historic sites, including Doune Castle near Callander.
On a recent visit, culture secretary Fiona Hyslop said the boost would support investment in conservation work, repairs and visitor facilities at several of Scotland’s iconic heritage sites and monuments. It follows the publication of ‘the most comprehensive conservation assessment ever undertaken’ on the properties in care of Scottish ministers.
