A KINTYRE gin tasting at the Stag Hotel on Friday January 26 raised almost £1,000 for the Kilmartin Museum redevelopment project. The tasting was well attended as the museum makes the final push for fundraising before the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) deadline on Friday February 23.

The Kilmartin Museum fundraising team has submitted an application to the HLF for a grant of £3.1m alongside substantial match funding from other organisations and individuals. However, the museum still has to bridge a £150,000 gap before the HLF makes its final decision at the end of next month.
