THE new owners of Seil’s Highland Arts centre, a landmark in Ellenabeich for decades, have revealed more of their plans for the site before it closes for good next month, writes Sandy Neil.
Highland Arts will cease trading on or before November 8, but will continue to occupy the shop until February to allow C John Taylor’s family to find new homes for his art.
Seafari purchased Highland Arts in June with plans to expand its marine wildlife tourism business, which employs up to 15 people, from a small slate-quarrier’s cottage in Ellenabeich into the larger complex across the road.
