The Isle of Luing Community Trust was established
in May 2005. Its aims are to advance education for the public benefit
in the heritage and history of the Isle of Luing and to preserve, restore
and improve the environment in and around the Isle of Luing.
One of the Trusts primary actions is to establish
a museum for the island,
to collect, conserve and display artifacts of historical, artistic
or scientific importance. Alongside this the Trust plans to develop
improved access to selected sites on the Isle of Luing at which
the natural and human heritage may be seen and studied, with the
provision of appropriate interpretation where possible.
2009 AGM
This years AGM will be held on Monday 18 May in Toberonochy Hall at 8.00 pm. More information is available here, as is the Annual Report. You are invited to join or renew your membership of the Trust at this time, and there is more information available here and on the membership page.
Coastal Protection
One of the original aims of the Trust was to improve the coastal defences in vulnerable areas of the island. The recent work at Cullipool has now been completed and there is more information about it here. Many thanks to Argyll & Bute Council for their considerable contribution towards the cost of these works.
Constellation Project
The project has now been completed, and the final design and a description of its creation is available here.
Community Cafe Museum
Heritage Centre
The more detailed drawings have been received from the Trust's architect
Shauna Cameron for the proposed development of the Engine Shed site. These are available on our documents page. There was much discussion of these plans at the recent meeting in Toberonochy where comments were taken from residents..
Kilchattan Kirkyard
Book now available
A record of more than 680 burials in Kilchattan Kirkyard
on the Isle of Luing, set in the context of the wider history of
the island, its community and its rural and industrial past. This
book produced by the Luing History Group is now available
to buy.
Interpretative Panels: there are now 12 panels located around Luing and they are proving very popular with locals and tourists alike. Each panel has a different theme and provides a good insight into the culture and heritage of our Island. Many thanks to all those involved in their creation.
Walk Leaflets: Eight different routes around Luing have now been collated in a free leaflet that is available from the ferry shed at North Cuan or the shop. The longest only takes a couple of hours at a leisurely place.

An updated list of Geneaological Resources available through the Luing History Group are now available on the website.
