With 2020 drawing to a close the Finlaggan Trust would like to thank all those who visited the historical site over the last year. It has been a challenging time for all and we would like to again offer our apologies for the enforced closure of the Finlaggan Visitor Centre.

However, essential maintenance work was necessary during the summer and it was felt that, with the ongoing travel restrictions in mind and the ever-changing situation at home and abroad, this would be the best time to complete it. We will continue to keep you updated on the situation here at Finlaggan via our social media posts as “events” unfold.

Finally, our heartfelt best wishes to all during the festive season and the year ahead. The continued support of all—past, present and future—who visit this evocative site is greatly appreciated. Stay safe.

With a number of heritage centres throughout the UK having partially re-opened, the Finlaggan Trust has regretfully decided that it will be unable to follow suit until some essential Covid-19-delayed maintenance work can be completed. We hope to have this done by September but will keep you informed as circumstances dictate. The historic site though does remain open and we hope that it will continue to attract all those interested in Somerled, the Lords of the Isles and the history of Clan Donald.

In addition to the above, the Trust would also like to offer a heartfelt thank you to all those who have visited Finlaggan this year and left donations in the honesty box. Under normal circumstances every penny received is gratefully accepted and helps in the upkeep of the site and Visitor Centre. But in light of the current “situation” such assistance is all the more keenly appreciated. Again, we thank you all for helping to preserve one of the most beautiful and historically important sites in Scotland.
