A long and constructive meeting was had with Sir Malcolm, at Camstraddan, on Monday 27 September. Arrangements are now in place for Rachel to visit Camstraddan on 25 October to view the artefacts Sir Malcolm is loaning to the museum. They will be a very positive addition to the centre. Arrangements are also in place for Mike Davidson, the photographer, to attend both Rossdhu House and Camstraddan on 25 October to complete the "Portrait photographs".
