Charles and Sadie Dixon-Spain

Clare English meets Charles and Sadie Dixon-Spain, who have spent the past 12 years restoring the ruined Dunans Castle in Argyll, which is still very much a work in progress.

London based Charles and Sadie Dixon-Spain bought ruined Dunans Castle in Argyll by chance. 12 years on, the castle has still no roof and it's not safe enough to walk through. They've ploughed all their money into it's restoration but it's hardly been plain sailing. In It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time, Clare English visits the Dixon-Spains at Dunans to discover why they continue to pursue their dream.
