It is now clear enough for Piers Dixon, an archaeologist from Historic Environment Scotland, to come and assess what other structures might have surrounded the castle.

After a delicious lentil soup made by Michaela back at the trust office, Cara Jones, from Archaeology Scotland, gave us a fascinating talk about their organisation and in particular the Adopt-a-Monument scheme of which Newbyres Castle is part of.

Thanks to all who helped.
