Dalintober pupils are looking for details about a well-known Campbeltown builder who built up his own collection of butterflies.
P6 pupils from the school have spent months working on a butterfly project, funded by the Ernest Cook Trust and supported by Scottish Natural Heritage and Forestry Commission Scotland, with education offcers from Kilmartin Museum. They have studied the butterfly life cycle and observed the natural fauna and flora at Westport beach, recording the number of butterflies and moths.
Julia Hamilton, of Kilmartin Museum, said: ‘One of the most important elements of this project was for the children to study the Robert Weir butterfly collection which has been in the care of Campbeltown Museum since the 1920s, and this is where we need the readers’ help.
