Alan Carr’s plans to develop a Scottish castle appear at risk after roosting bats are found on the site. The reported discovery comes amid his ongoing renovation work at Ayton Castle.

According to the outlet, Carr bought the property earlier this year for £3.25 million and has been renovating it. The publication also frames his prospective development as a £3 million project tied to the castle. While the report focuses on the presence of bats, it does not specify how this will affect the timeline or whether a revised plan will be required.

Across the provided sources, the core details are consistent: bats are found on Ayton Castle, the property is in Scotland, and Carr is carrying out renovations after purchasing the castle earlier in the year. The coverage centers mainly on the potential impact of wildlife findings rather than other aspects of the development proposal.
