SWAMP on Crookton Castle...

Yesterday, we ran a workshop with a group of young people from Swamp, who recently made a film about crookston castle. They told us what they knew about the castle (underground passages to Buckingham Palace!), what they liked / disliked about it and what they would like to see happen there in the future.

The 'thumbs up / thumbs down' exercise revealed what the group liked / disliked about the castle.

Whereas the 'pimp my castle' exercise gave the group the chance to come up with ideas on how to improve it... Ideas ranged from entertainers performing on top of the castle, abseiling down the side, quad bike tracks around it... to simple interventions like benches to have a picnic at or parking for visitors!
