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 Trust's primary actions is to establish a museum for the island, to collect, conserve and display artefacts 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.

Three Trust directors and our architect have recently held two meetings with representatives of potential funders of the Centre and other agencies in Dunoon and Edinburgh, convened by our constituency MSP Michael Russell and his assistant Louise Glen-Lee.

Both meetings were very positive, with everyone present indicating that they would be willing to support our project in whatever way they can.  Because of the difficulty of obtaining funding in the current economic climate we have had to reduce the size and cost of the Centre by making the new building shorter whilst maintaining the key elements within the Centre.  The amended plans can be seen on the Documents section, and more information in Update 25.

We still have a considerable way to go, but we have also been granted more time to raise the necessary funding.

Thanks to everyone for your continued understanding and support.
