Works have included masonry, restoration works and collections maintenance

More than three-quarters-of-a-million pounds has been spent on maintenance works at Castle Rushen over the last 15 years.

Manx National Heritage confirmed since 2010 it's received £768,000 of minor capital investment to cover stone masonry, preventative and reactive maintenance, restoration work and collections management.

No funds have been spent on improvement works at the attraction's shop despite it being relocated in 2018, as all fittings were reused from the previous space.

The figures were published by the enterprise minister in response to a Tynwald written question.
