£750,000 grant for Highlanders' Museum
Plans for a £3m renovation of visitor facilities at The Highlanders' Museum near Inverness have received a boost with a £750,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The Fort George museum has already raised more than £2.5m towards the scheme, which is aiming to establish an interactive education and learning facility with full disabled access. Around 12,000 items relating to the history of the Highlands and Islands army heritage are on show across three floors at the museum, which is also planning a new archive centre.
Major General Seymour Monro, chair of The Highlanders' Museum, said: "HLF's award is a tremendous endorsement of the project as our application has been through the most rigorous scrutiny. "It means the creation of a superb Highland military heritage centre with the Queens Own Highlanders historic collection at its heart."
