Argyll and Bute Council’s welcoming another cash boost for the Rothesay Townscape Heritage Initiative.

More than £100,000 has been awarded by the LEADER programme after a meeting earlier this month.

The money will be used for the training and education programme.

It involves a range of activities that are designed to raise awareness of the island’s special character and to ensure local people get involved, become inspired and have the skills to sympathetically preserve and enhance Bute’s heritage for the long-term.

The programme will seek to teach contractors new skills in traditional building techniques and to work with local partners to promote island culture.

There’ll be a variety of workshops and events to reinforce and strengthen island identity and appreciation of Rothesay’s unique character.
