Thrilled to see some of our museum objects on show at National Museums Scotland in Edinburgh. They feature in a fascinating exhibition 'Wild and Majestic: Romantic Visions of Scotland'. We loaned a number of artefacts belonging to Alasdair Ranaldson Macdonell, including an invitation to attend King George IV's visit to Edinburgh in 1822, a silver quaich presented after the visit, and a powder horn that features in Raeburn's famous portrait. The exhibition continues to 10 November and is highly recommended.

We're excited to be developing closer links with the wonderful Finlaggan Trust on the island of Islay - watch this space. Finlaggan was the seat of the Macdonald Lords of the Isles, and if you're at all interested in Clan Donald history you should pay a visit to this atmospheric historic site and its informative visitor centre. Here's a couple of pictures from a recent visit by one of our museum team. Check out their website at https://www.finlaggan.org/
