Scottish Doors Open Days September 08

Doors Open Days give you free access to hundreds of fascinating buildings across Scotland. Every weekend in September you can explore places that are normally closed to the public. Some open up once a year, some just once in a lifetime. This is your chance to discover the heritage on your doorstep or explore a new part of the country.

Not all links have info yet, for what will be open.

Claypotts Castle in Dundee is very rarely open, I pass it every day on way to work or on way into town- I haven't seen insides of it since I was a girl, so look forward to dragging DD round it.

Many thanks!:D
