Presentation

The Committee gave consideration to a presentation by Dr Sharon Webb of Kilmartin Museum, highlighting the part the museum plays in collecting and caring for archaeological artefacts from all over Argyll and also in caring for all of the Council’s archaeology collections under a Service Level Agreement.  Dr Webb highlighted the work of the museum in respect of education; landscape interpretation and the promotion and enjoyment of the area’s natural and cultural riches, and advised of the unique biodiversity found in the Mid Argyll area. Dr Webb spoke of the operational, conceptual, environment and financial challenges faced by the museum and advised how the redevelopment project, which sought to create new gallery space, new interpretation and an open collections store, would enhance visitor facilities and educational and archaeological activity within the area, which would align to the Council’s Single Outcome Agreement.  

The Chair thanked Dr Webb for the information provided.
