Well, Gavin and Gregor were going to be working somewhere else today but no-one could have been more delighted than I, to find them beavering away on the dance floor when I eventually emerged from my bed this morning.
As the castle has a separate dining room, I can only assume that the Great Hall has witnessed many a ceilidh. This is in addition to its role as a reception area, as it is the first room guests would encounter after the entrance hall. There are exits leading to the toilets, the library, the dining room, the drawing room, and the guest bedrooms - so it is very much like a hub.
In the photograph you will see the swaged netting over the joists, which is used to hold under-floor roll insulation.
It is a thrill to walk across the floor that has been laid so far. It will be an even bigger thrill to be able to walk around the whole room. Until this is possible, you never quite get the feel for a space.
