Is Rait Castle open to the public?

There is no barrier to your visiting the castle which is located at Grid 894525, however it is muddy and, as you can see, it is overgrown. If you do visit, please ensure that you shut all gates, do not let your dog disturb any cattle or sheep and respect the countryside code.

Do you want to make Rait Castle into a tourist attraction?

No. There is no intention to do anything except remove the trees and other plants that are damaging the structure and clear the area of undergrowth so that the remnants of the outer buildings such as the nine foot high courtyard wall, and perhaps the medieval chapel, can be seen.

How much will this cost?

It is difficult to see how this could cost more than £20,000.

Do you need money for this work?

No. There is no reason why this should not be carried out by the estate with a grant from Historic Scotland

I am visiting Scotland and would like to be shown round Rait and other castles.
