How to Restore a Castle: Part Two: A Somewhat Definitive & Definitely Partial Restoration Manual for Owners of Ruined Historic Buildings, Particularly Those on the West Coast of Scotland: 2 - Softcover
Synopsis
Welcome to the second part of Charles Dixon-Spain's attempt to capture all the wonder, danger, hilarity and stress that restoring a castle on the West Coast of Scotland brings. Sadie and Charles moved from London to Dunans Castle in March 2003, and spent the next couple of years creating a life in the Highlands against mounting odds.
Through a series of admonitions, set out as a how-to manual, a tale of courage in the face of disappointment, misdirection and intimidation begins to emerge, in which the couple work to uncover the recent history of a building ill-served by its previous owners. The husband and wife team will stand firm in the face of midges, wrecked gateways and character assassination, while drawing comfort from family, friends and the people they meet in the local community as they work to restore the building and bring it back to life.
If you have ever been gifted, or bought a decorative title from ScottishLaird, this is the tale you have been waiting for. An intimate depiction of the building and people you have already encountered and helped through the contribution made by your title.
