We, the undersigned, request that Historic Environment Scotland re-open the East Gate of Aberdour Castle Grounds to allow pedestrian passage from one side of the village to another on days and at times when the Castle is open. We understand that this passage is not a legal right of way and that access is granted as a gesture of goodwill and to encourage positive relationships between the local community and the Castle management. We believe that this open access encourages HES membership rather than discourages it, and are keen to work with HES to support tourism in Aberdour and the success of the Castle within the village.
