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.

Community Cafe Museum Heritage Centre
Preliminary drawings have now been drawn up by the Trust's architect Shauna Cameron for the proposed development of the Engine Shed site. These are available on our documents page. We are awaiting further detailed drawings and plans from Shauna which will arrive in due course and we then need to start the funding process.

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.

Coastal Protection: Work will commence during the summer of 2008 to help improve the beach defences at Cullipool. This will help protect the village from future storm damage and flooding. Many thanks to Argyll & Bute Council for their considerable contribution towards the cost of these works. If you would like to make a donation to enable more work to be done at the same time, please contact Mike Barlow (314274).
