Dumbarton Castle will open its doors to the public on Thursday, September 11 after being closed for six months, Historic Environment Scotland announced at the weekend.
Ten historic sites, including several castles and cathedrals are to reopen in Scotland for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic forced their closure.
Alex Paterson, chief executive of HES, said: “The heritage and tourism sectors have, along with many others, been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, so I am really pleased that we are now continuing to reopen more historic attractions.
“By mid-September, visitors will be able to access our historic sites throughout the country from the Scottish Borders and the central belt to the Highlands and islands.
“Getting our sites ready to reopen after being closed for the longest period since the Second World War has been no easy feat, and we are extremely thankful to the visitors and members who have continued to support us through these unprecedented times.”
