Could this be removed to restore it to it's former glory ? PS I visited Castle Grant on New Years Day 06 It looks magnificent in comparison to the above... Posted by lost 1/14/2006 10:15 PM | remove   The castle right now is in a bit of a state - only partially restored, abandoned (again) and you can see it starting to fall apart now - looks okay from a distance though. Kind of sad really. Posted by rainman8889 1/15/2006 12:28 AM | remove   <groan> I hope the restoration resumes quickly before the place rots beyond repair. Posted by PlasticDel 1/15/2006 3:03 AM | remove   Grizz, what's your location? Incidentally -as I seem to be posting as a habit- the "outer coating" you refer to is what is knwn as 'Harling' it's a traditional practice in Scotland (assuming this isn't concrete or some other 'modern' intervention). It is for protectign the stone underneath...
