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.”
