Inveruglas Isle was visited by our archaeologists and tree surgeon in March 2025 and May 2025 to assess the potential benefit/impact to the castle of each cut prescribed in the HES report. Modifications to the plans were made in collaboration with Historic Environment Scotland. The work is planned in two stages with cutting planned for September 2025 and Fall 2026. The planned cutting will leave the natural screen of trees around the castle. The castle should not be more significantly more exposed or visible from the shore as a result of the preservation work.
Detailed cutting plans document the approach and impact for each specified cut. The cutting plan is summarized in the following sections.

Remove Dead Trees on the West Wall of the CastleTree surgeons will climb and use trapeze's as necessary to sectionally cut and lower the large dead tree leaning from the outside on the west wall of the castle (1). It will be cut and removed from the site. The Ash growing near the boulder (2) will be used for support during cutting, then removed. It will be used to sectionally cut the large dead tree projecting out over the west wall (9). That tree (9) will the be removed.
