Dumbarton Castle | Portfolio Question Time | Scottish Parliament debates

I will not rehearse the importance of Dumbarton castle in the history of Scotland. I am pleased that the cabinet secretary will join me on a visit to Dumbarton castle.

However, since I last raised the issue in the chamber, I have had a productive meeting in the constituency with Historic Environment Scotland, friends of Dumbarton castle, and West Dunbartonshire Council. We discussed the range of improvements that the castle requires, and Historic Environment Scotland agreed to set out a strategic plan for the future, including addressing repairs and conservation, attracting more visitors and returning some of the collection for display. Can the cabinet secretary set out a timetable for the plan to be implemented?
