We can’t do it without you

The charitable mission of the Castle society is to protect, restore, and preserve the Castle, while bringing its stories to life. Our volunteer team assists in this mission by acting as docents, providing visitors with information about the Castle and its story.

Craigdarroch Castles visitor services department is supported by a team of dedicated volunteers, some of whom have been at the Castle for over 20 years. Join our team today!
