I wanted to say a few things about the recently published study about Kinloch Castle. Residents were surveyed and asked questions as individuals, the Isle of Rum Community Trust, as the local landowner, was not. It was included as an apparent stakeholder but . .

What an amazing day we had. So many people came to our event to celebrate 15 years of community ownership. and many were surprised at the amount we had achieved and our honesty about our challenges. Feeling blessed and still have a ceilidh yet to dance the night away!

One of our newest residents and visitor services manager Elle has a weekly column in @heraldscotland to write about her new life on Rùm.
It only took me leaving journalism to get my face on the front page! .We don’t get papers over here, and so it feels super odd to know that my face - and words - are on supermarket shelves across the country. Read my first column in print today, and online tomorrow! 📰🗻.

It's been a 2.5 year process to attain our IDSS status. We have exciting plans afoot like a dark sky tower and all all sky camera for round the clock online viewing, but we'd rather you came in person so watch out for events planned with @cosmosplntarium
