Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has welcomed the news that The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses has been awarded a grant of £26,800 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Commenting on the news, Mr Stevenson said:
“I welcome the news that the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses has been awarded a substantial grant of £26,800 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
“The award will help the museum in terms of their Seascapes project which will go on to improve conservation and develop interpretation at the museum in Fraserburgh.
“I know that the award will go to good use, enabling the museum to conserve, interpret and re-display two flags and a bible which belonged to the renowned Lighthouse designers, the Stevenson family, which are currently on display within the museum.
“The funding will also make it possible for volunteers to interview the Lighthouse keepers, their families and colleagues in order to capture and record their important social history. The information, in turn, will then be used to create a film which will be shown to visitors to the museum as an introduction.
“Once again I applaud the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses on their success.”
