Painting Posse

As I had a quick run round the castle today to inspect the troops, I found Glen and Gregor on painting duty in one of the attic bedrooms. This room, which we have systematically though rather boringly called RA13 in the restoration plans, has been coming together quickly and I realised that there was a lack of "before" and "in progress" photos so I took this snap quickly to redress the balance.

One of the biggest visual transitions is that first coat of paint, and a formerly derelict room starts to look habitable. In this photo the new plasterwork has been painted, and the remaining unpainted plasterwork is all of the original variety. You can see where the cracks have been filled. As time goes on, less and less wall in the castle retains that original beige colour.

We actually don't have an individual name for this bedroom, but today Greg came up with the "Lintrathen Suite" as the room overlooks the Loch of Lintrathen. Who knows if it will stick.
