DEMOLITION OF CARBET CASTLE - 1984

Here's a shot of Carbet Castle in Camphill Road, Broughty Ferry, being demolished in July 1984.
They actually had to go easy on the demolition when it was discovered the interior ceiling was still intact and considered to be a bit of a treasure, painted by French artist, Charles Frechou. The ceiling was carefully removed and put into storage.
The castle itself used to be owned by the Grimond family who ran the Bowbridge Jute Works.
