A planning application on behalf of the group was previously lodged with South Ayrshire Council, seeking permission to make alterations and build an extension to the existing visitor centre in Winehouse Yett.

They wanted permission in place so that they could expand the visitor centre and form a new exhibition room, create new office space and have additional space for storage.

Now the plans have been approved under delegated powers.

In a statement on social media the Friends of Dundonald Castle SCIO said: “We're thrilled to share that planning permission has officially been granted for the extension of our Visitor Centre!
