February 2005
At a community meeting in Glenuig Hall on Wednesday 9th February
the celebrations for the tenth anniversary of Glenuig Hall were
discussed. To find out what's happening please see our What's
On? page.
The future of arts programming in Glenuig Hall was also discussed.
Eoghan Carmichael, who has programmed and managed most of the events
in Glenuig Hall over the last ten years, has let it be know that
he can no longer continue in this role due to other work commitments.
Other members of the community were urged to become more involved
in deciding what events should be put on and in managing them.
November 2004
Glenuig Community Association launched their new website (this
one). Ken Bowker of The
Square Cottage created the web design and layout, with the words
and information supplied by Eoghan Carmichael. Current photographs
supplied by Graham Strachan (Tchumbly) and Eoghan Carmichael. We
are keen for more photographs of Glenuig, particularly of the festivals,
and if you can help please let us know. We are also interested in
filling any gaps or correcting inaccuracies in the historical information
- if your memory is better than ours please let us know.
Scottish Water have begun construction on a new water treatment
plant in Glenuig. Situated between Ballachan and Glenuig Shop,
the plant will operate on a filtration system, hopefully reducing
the chlorine content that has often been noticeable since Scottish
Water began treatments to comply with EU regulations. Construction
is estimated to take around 38 weeks, and will involve the siting
of large holding tanks at the top of Glenuig Hill as well as the
filtration and pumping plant in the village.
May 2004
Lochaber Housing Association completed the building of two new houses
in Glenuig. Situated between Glenuig Inn and St Agnes's Chapel,
the houses are of wooden construction, following pressure from Glenuig
Community Association who felt this would be more appropriate to
the setting than the concrete block construction originally proposed.
Thanks to Lochaber Housing Association, local Councillor Dr Michael
Foxley, and to Glenuig Estate trustees for helping to ensure that
this much needed development took place.
March 2004
Glenuig Inn opened their new accommodation block. A great
improvement on that previously available, the new accommodation
is by all accounts extremely comfortable and spacious. We wish Glenuig
Inn the best of luck with this improvement. They can be contacted
through our LINKS page.
