Resarf Flooring Ltd was appointed by main contractor MacKenzie Construction to install 1300m2 of Addastone Resin Bonded surfacing to the pathways and a further 175m2 of Terrabase Rustic Tweed Resin Bound surfacing for the castle viewing area. Due to location of the Castle and restrictive access to the grounds, getting the material to the site was a challenge. The only way to overcome this was to use a helicopter to airlift the material into the grounds and then barrow to the areas being surfaced. The image of the Addagrip delivery suspended from the helicopter over Loch Ness was quite a sight!
Most of the works were completed in time for the Easter weekend, however due to cold and wet weather conditions the final elements were finished after the busy Easter schedule when the castle can attract as many as 500 visitors per day.
The result is aesthetically pleasing pathways offering improved access for visitors throughout the year.
