THE EXPLORATION of Ardrossan Castle and its grounds continued last week with more positive results coming through.

Organised by the Ardrossan Castle Heritage Society, the further survey into the ground surrounding the famous building took place on Thursday with Dr Oliver O’Grady leading the show.

Michael McCulloch, Andy Jones and Martin Kostigovs from the society were present to help despite the weather.

Andy said: “It was exciting. I really enjoyed doing it. I wasn’t sure what to expect as these things can be a hit or a miss but we were really happy with what was coming through throughout the day.”

The group surveyed around the arch and took real positives from the results. One of the areas surveyed showed anomalies five metres deep which will be studied by Dr O’Grady and may result in more digs.
