A mum has told of how she spent a quarter of a million pounds on a derelict 15th
century castle with the plan of turning it into a wedding venue.

Nicole Rudder, a 32-year-old owner of a car insurance company, has embarked on a
huge renovation project after falling in love with the dilapidated Garrion
Tower, near Wishaw.



The Lanarkshire woman’s plans to turn the venue into a luxury wedding venue are
now underway, after she broke the news of her purchase to her husband.

Speaking to the Daily Record , she said: "I had to go home and tell my husband
I’d bought a castle and he wasn’t too pleased at first.”

Nicole was originally sent the advert for the sale of the tower as a joke by a
friend but, after taking a drive to view the building, she fell in love with it
and snapped it up.

She added: “I put the offer in without telling anyone and was shocked when I got
the call to say it was mine. People think I’m mad but I knew when I saw it I
could make this place something special again."

“This is my dream and hearing my two young daughters talk about mummy buying a
castle was a real moment for me. I want my daughters to grow up knowing that
girls can do anything they want and everything is possible with hard work.”

Built in 1484, it was originally a summer home to the bishops of Glasgow and
later used as part of a fruit and vegetable farm.

Set within the Clyde Valley near Wishaw, Lanarkshire, the 19-room B-listed
building was boarded up in 2008 and then acquired by a London-based firm who
planned to knock it down and use the land for a housing development.

In 2018 the castle had fallen into such disrepair it was added to Scotland’s
Buildings at Risk Register.

But after planning applications to tear down the castle, which includes 4.5
acres of surrounding ground, were rejected, it was put up for sale in 2020 for
offers over £600,000.

With no interest from potential buyers, the price was reduced to offers over
£450,000.

In November, Nicole, from Chapelhall near Airdrie, placed an offer for £250,000
and it was accepted in February.

Nicole said: “It’s a beautiful building and I fell in love with it the minute I
saw it. They just don’t make them like this any more.

"It has stood here empty and unloved for so long. My friend sent me the link as
a joke and I laughed it off.

"But then I took a drive out to see it and the moment I saw it, I knew it was
the one for me.”

Now Nicole, who owns non-fault car accident firm G4 Claims, has begun work to
restore the historic building to its former glory and is hoping to open the
doors to welcome her first wedding guests in the summer of 2024.

After consulting with contractors, she estimates it will cost £3million to
£5million to renovate and restore the castle.

She is in the process of applying for restoration grants to help cover the costs
but is keen to maintain as many original features as possible. Any artefacts
already discovered in the building will be put on display when the venue finally
opens its doors.

Nicole plans to repair the castle’s many rooms and hopes to offer future brides
the special turret room to get dressed in before their wedding.

The mum added: “It’s just an old dilapidated shell at the moment. The windows
are boarded up and the ones that aren’t are smashed in.

"The turret has collapsed, causing part of the first and second floor to come
down as well. But one day I hope to offer the bridal party that room in the
tower to get ready in for their big day.

“We are going to need to go in through the roof with a crane to remove much of
the rubble as that is the section that is already damaged. We plan to blast out
the windows and then make sure everything is watertight before winter creeps in.

“But once we have ripped out all the rubble from the inside, we will have
something to work with. Only then will we be able to map out plans for the
inside.

"The outside of the building will remain the same and we hope to put on an
extension at the back, which will serve as the ceremony room for our weddings,
along with a bar and restaurant for guests and locals.”

days


Nicole is consulting with community groups and is in the process of recording
personal stories from locals who had links to the building in an effort to
preserve its history. She hopes her venture will breathe new life into the area
as well as creating jobs.

She said: “This beautiful place is a part of history. It doesn’t need someone
coming in and ripping its heart out, it needs someone to give it the love and
attention it deserves.
