Winton Castle

Winton Castle in East Lothian is a Category A listed building that embodies Scotland’s Renaissance heritage and centuries of Seton family history. It was once a seat of power where kings were entertained,
craftsmen from Edinburgh Castle were employed, and even Bonnie Prince Charlie requisitioned it during the Jacobite rising. Today, it stands as both a private residence and an exclusive events venue, preserving its architectural grandeur and cultural legacy

We were commissioned to create an AU 3D Digital Model of the exterior of the castle and to scan selected historic rooms within the interior to support the castle’s conservation plan. From this model, we generated true-to-scale ortho imagery, which was used within planning application drawings. These were accepted by East Lothian Council, marking a significant step in the use of ortho imagery in place of traditional line drawings.
