Colquhoun Heritage and Visitor Centre
With new premises having now been identified for the opening of a new Clan
Colquhoun Heritage and Visitor Centre an application for financial
assistance has been submitted to a National organisation who on 17 February
2010 advised the following:
"Your application is scheduled to be considered at the meeting of the
Trustees which will be held towards the end of March. However, before being
considered by the Trustees, your request will be reviewed by our Assessment
Team and, in the event of further information and/or a visit being required,
you will be contacted. After the meeting of the Trustees, you will be
informed in writing of their decision."
To date no further communication has been received from the Assessment Team. -
LATEST - Unfortunately latest bid for funding unsuccessful. We now try elsewhere.
All Clan Chief and Colquhoun "notable" portraits are being upgraded for display in the new Clan Colquhoun Heritage and Visitor Centre. In addition to those currently on display in Rossdhu there are other Clan Chief portraits in storage at Camstraddan. These are due to be brought out of storage on or about 29 March 2010. The professional photographer has agreed to postpone his visit until early April when he can take all necessary photographs at both Rossdhu and Camstraddan on the same day.
LATEST - Completed at Rossdhu House. Due to unforeseen circumstances all portraits could not be photographed at Camstraddan House. Sir Malcolm making arrangements for photographer to finish the job soonest.
