Comedian Alan Carr has submitted a planning application to transform a potting shed at his recently acquired Ayton Castle in the Scottish Borders into a café and estate shop. This initiative is part of a broader effort to revitalize the estate, which he aims to feature in an upcoming television series documenting his renovation journey.
The proposed café will include public facilities and aims to restore the currently derelict potting sheds, enhancing the estate's appeal and encouraging community engagement. The local council will review the application for approval.
