Arisaig Community Council has been working hard improving the village’s war memorial.
In his report at the recent annual general meeting, community council chairman Iain Macniven said arrangements for memorial repairs and access improvements were discussed with Highland Council, the War Memorials Trust, the landowner and others.
The project was widened to involve local primary and high schools and linked to the display of the Arisaig and South Morar Record of Service 1920 in the Land, Sea and Islands Centre. Arisaig Community Trust partnered the council in the final stages of the project. Following discussions with contractors, the Highland Council, and others, an application for funding was submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund on May 15 and a result is awaited.
