Thursday 27 July     4.00 - 7.00      Ferintosh Hall

Bruce Morrison, Secretary of Ferintosh Community Council, has picked up and circulated an email from NOSAS* (North of Scotland Archaeological Society) about a preliminary proposal to establish a new distillery close to what is believed to be the site of the former Ferintosh distillery, romanticised by Robert Burns, near Mulchaich Farm SE of Alcaig (NH 577566).  Bruce writes

In advance of this proposed development, there will be a public consultation meeting in the Ferintosh Hall on Thursday 27th, between 4 and 7pm. It is planned to be a drop-in, a chance to discuss any aspect of the plans with the architect, Gareth Roberts, and a colleague or two. There will be some information panels to show what is proposed, and some feedback sheets for people to give their thoughts, if they would prefer not to give their impressions directly.

There seems to be no planning application or any information about the proposal.  The farmer at Mulchaich is naturally believed to have an interest.

* NOSAS wishes to make clear that the email was only passing on to its members information it had obtained about the consultation event on 27 July, and that it is not involved in any way with the new distillery proposal.
