Lottery Confirm funding for new Gairloch Museum

A statement has just been released about the ambitious development planned for Gairloch, in Wester Ross:

From Gairloch Museum:

We have some amazing news to share. Gairloch Heritage Museum has received a confirmed grant of £725,600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund for our project ‘Our Land, Our People, Our Story’, which will build a new museum for Gairloch.

The investment by Heritage Lottery Fund is a vital part of the total funding package for the project, and we believe it will be the catalyst that will attract the substantial amount of match funding that still needs to be raised by next summer. This is now the absolute priority for the museum and we would love to hear from anyone who has ideas or energy to help out with the fundraising campaign. Please help us secure the future of our museum. http://www.gairlochheritagemuseum.org/support-us.html

Congratulations from everybody!
