Fiona, Simon and the new extension's big day

It was to be the first wedding in Finlaggan chapel for 500 years - civil weddings can't be held there, only religious ceremonies - until the elements decided otherwise.  However, Fiona McArthur and Simon Hart still made history,  Their September wedding ceremony being the first to take place entirely within the newly extended Finlaggan Centre, quite appropriately as Fiona is the daughter of Finlaggan Trust Project Officer Linda McArthur.

The finishing touches to extension were in place by the end of July, the builders moved out, the completion certificate arrive in mid August and the committee spent the rest of the month finalising new displays and endeavouring to ge the best value from the money available.  Regretfully we decided the season was too far advanced for a 2008 opening, but there will be two viewing opportunities later this year - our AGM and the special whisky tasting even organised by James McEwan.

Through the unavoidable delay in re-opening we have lost 2008 income, and have made new appeals for support.  Anyone who would like to know more can contact Linda on lindaislay-26@tiscali.co.uk or Donald on donaldbell@tiscali.co.uk.
