Join the Scottish Castles Association for a special evening at the historic Dundas Castle to celebrate the launch of our new Archive — a digital resource preserving Scotland’s castle heritage for generations to come.

The Evening

Your ticket includes a drinks reception and a three-course dinner with wine. We are honoured to host two distinguished speakers:

• Professor Richard Oram: Exploring the historical significance of the Archive’s collections.

Supporting the Archive

Tickets are £175 per person.

This includes a £60 contribution to the Archive, directly supporting the preservation and digitisation of Scotland’s castle heritage. Further contributions are welcomed.
