MBSE GRANT APPROVED

After many months of negotiations and disappointments the Trust are now happy to announce that the Moray, Badenoch and Strathspey Enterprise, part of the Highlands and Islands Enterprise Company have awarded the Kinloss Abbey Trust a grant of £20,000.

This money is to be used to pay for the Interpretation elements of the Project such as the interpretation panels, road signage, leaflets and the book.

This money has come as a great boost because it now allows the Trust to make the formal application to the Heritage Lottery Fund for the remaining £49,000 required to start work on the Project.

All of the Trustees are delighted with this grant and will continue to work hard to secure the funding required for all of the Project proposed at Kinloss Abbey.
