Louise Kelly, Sustainability officer for Historic Environment Scotland: “Even though visitor numbers of the castle have been going up dramatically in the past few years, we have still managed to reduce energy usage."
"That partially has to do with things like people making changes in their own lives, and also to material changes we've made here at the site.”

Ellie Murtagh, Climate resilience coordinator for Adaptation Scotland : “Over our years of working with public bodies across Scotland, we've seen how when you work together, you succeed.”
Anna BeswickCyArk
Anna Beswick, Program Manager, Adaptation Scotland Program: “I hope that we'll be able to learn about what's happening in different places, and to share our learning. Because none of us hold all of the keys and all of the solutions on how to tackle and adapt to climate change.”
