CULZEAN Castle is set to take part in the National Trust’s ‘Project Reveal’.

The site is one of the first properties to join in one of Scotland’s biggest heritage projects, to update the information and collect pictures of every item in the care of the conservation charity.

Costing £1.3m, Project Reveal is taking place in all of the properties in the care of the National Trust for Scotland, including Brodie Castle and the Hill House.

Ayr Advertiser:

A team of five will be working at Culzean Castle and they will be recording and photographing every single piece of its collection from fine furniture and artworks, to kitchenware and gardening tools.

National Trust for Scotland chief executive, Simon Skinner, said: “This is a huge project, both for the Trust and for the heritage of Scotland.

“It will mean we know so much more about the many treasures in our care, and this information will help us as we strive to share Scotland’s spectacular scenery, amazing history and unforgettable experiences with more visitors, in more engaging and relevant ways.”

Wendy Turner, Project Manager for Project Reveal, added: “Much of this work will be taking place in full view of our visitors, so we will be revealing not just our collections at Culzean Castle, but our working methods as well.

“We fully expect the teams to find hidden treasures and to uncover new stories about our collections in Ayrshire and beyond.”

They will be blogging about their work as they go – keep up to date with the latest news at www.nts.org.uk #ProjectReveal
