to his grandson, Richard Charteris. Excavation work was carried out a number of times, including in 1987, 2006 and 2012. Some improvements works were carried out in the late 2010s, which included roof repairs, a bench and paved area, and a new path and electrical work. In 2019 Elcho Castle was a destination of the River Tay water taxis. A survey was carried out in 2021 on all 96 windows and window openings as part of conservation work by Linda Cannon. In 2022 it was reported that the castle would be further assessed by Historic Environment Scotland as part of a national programme. A large portion of the Castle is accessible, but a lot of the wooden floor of the third level in the main block is missing. It is normally open to the public 1 April to 30 September from 10am to 4pm, but as of 2022 access is restricted and there is no public access whilst the conservation work is being carried out.
