In this second of a five talk series in Aberdeen Heritage Lectures for 2022 Annie will provide an overview of the architectural development of the castle from its early occupation in the 13thC right through to the 20thC, along with some of the key challenges in looking after it today. The presentation will explore the developing stonework and structural repair project which will be delivered by the National Trust for Scotland over the next few years to safeguard the castle and its stories into the future.
