Great news for ALT and also for the peninsula in general, well done to all concerned. Can’t help thinking it also helped that the community had carried out a detailed community plan which identified the lighthouse development as a top priority. From little acorns........!As a regular follower of our posts, you are probably already aware Ardnamurchan Lighthouse Trust had applied to the Scottish Land Fund for financial assistance to buy the site from Highland Council. We are absolutely delighted to announce we have been granted, £224,900 to purchase the buildings that we already operate as a cafe, shop and exhibition space around the iconic lighthouse.
Our Chairperson, Ritchie Dinnes says “We realised a few years ago that the site required money spending on it but neither the Trust, nor the Council, who owned it, had the resources to do that. We approached Scottish Land Fund, who have provided excellent guidance and advice over the last few years culminating in this award.
This will enable the Trust to secure the future of the attraction and provide a platform to source further funding to implement upgrades thus enabling us to continue to attract and enchant visitors at this wonderful location.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Highland Council, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, The Architectural Heritage Fund, the Northern Lighthouse Board and the local community for their support for this iconic attraction at the most westerly point in mainland UK.”
A big thank you also goes out to our local wildlife photographer and film maker, Hamza Yassin, who has taken some fantastic photographs of the Lighthouse which he has donated to the Lighthouse Trust. These were used as part of our bid to the SLF, and show our Lighthouse in all its glory. One of the photos is shown below.
At 7pm on Wednesday 30th October 2019, the Trust will be holding it’s Annual General Meeting at Kilchoan Learning Centre. This will be immediately followed by refreshments and a chance for attendees to help us to celebrate our bid success. We really hope some of you will be able to join us on the night, sharing a drink, some nibbles and conversation about the future of our wonderful lighthouse.
