Was it inheritance tax which prevented it from being maintained. What a shame, was there no Welsh man with the money to buy and restore. As a Welsh born and bred woman i hope the government will act before its too late. Thank you Hamish Congratulations on the award Hamish😊
Thank you! I was very surprised to win! On the castle front, there has been good news this week actually… www.itv.com/news/wales/2024-01-12/structural-survey-commissioned-for-ruperra-castle-in-win-for-campaigners
Sorry you've left Auskerry now. That series was incredible! Obviously though you're needed in Wales as well. Congratulations on your journalism award. Looking forward to your further reports.
Thank you! I have left Auskerry but I still have loads of material to edit into further episodes - I just need to find a minute in amongst all the news going on! Thanks for watching ☺️
Also as a retired journalist in the Highlands, I so enjoy your reporting. It's the kind of thing I like to do, although seldom got the chance at it. I think that knowing our history and the past has so much relevance in the here and now.@@hamishauskerry
Excellent reporting. I do hope the absentee owner restores this scheduled building so future generations will have it continue to be a part of the UK's heritage.
Oh well there goes the neighborhood 😢 He bought it- most likely lied about preserving it Will destroy or slightly remodel for his benefit to make some atrocious getup that will take away from the beauty and organic scenery that the castle is located 😔😔
@@lynnerodgers4461 Would guess it's the farmland he was buying (because surely there's a fair bit attached) there's a lot of foreign money investing in farmland across not just the UK but all of Europe and the US. We should be careful when selling it off farmland because we're existentially dependant on it.

An excellent report. I heard that it would cost too much to even stabilise this.
Thank you Caroline! Work is now being undertaken to get a structural survey done for the buildings so that’s positive
Being of Welsh heritage this saddens me 😔❤
Thanks for watching!

Sounds shady to me. Why buy something you can't take care of?
I agree! Particularly if the owner is not a citizen of the UK. 🤔

Shouldn't King Charles pay for this ?? And his mob family ?
It falls to the Welch Government to do something
