With visitor numbers to the castle increasing steadily over the last 10 years, it was decided that visitor facilities on site needed to be expanded and so an extension to the existing visitor centre was created.

Caithness flagstone was used in several areas of this project as it has been used already in other projects around the castle. Almost 300m2 of paving was used along with roofing slates and worktops in the new takeaway catering facility.
