Several architects produced drawings and plans for Sir
Fitzroy and the ones chosen were those of Sir John Burnett, an eminent
architect from Glasgow. Before the restoration could begin the castle
had to be excavated and several small items, such as snuffing scissors
and wine bottles were found.

Most of these objects were apparently left by the soldiers
who had been billeted at Duart.
Though some original features were sadly lost, on the
whole the restoration was very sympathetic to the original building, and
an Edwardian house, complete with all the offices considered necessary,
was placed with great care into the ruins of the castle.
