Maintaining A Fragile 13th Century Castle | Country House Rescue: Craufurdland | Real Royalty

Craufurdland is a castle in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire dating back over eight centuries. It's been home to the Craufurd family since 1245, but constant maintenance of the fragile property has become a huge financial drain. Having rented it out for the last few years, Simon Craufurd and his wife Adity have just moved in, hoping to reclaim the family home for them and their children. But with only enough money to sustain them for six months, they must quickly make it earn its keep. Simon Davis is keen to discover a way of sharing the castle's fascinating and important history with a public, who have no idea that it exists. Can he convince the Craufurds to support his business plan?
