some thoughts on the ongoing kinloch castle saga
What an amazing day we had. So many people came to our event to celebrate 15 years of community ownership....and many were surprised at the amount we had achieved and our honesty about our challenges.
Feeling blessed and still have a ceilidh yet to dance the night away!
Hello there
We are celebrating fifteen years of community ownership this year with an afternoon exhibition of all our achievements and an ceilidh in the evening.
All welcome!!
Come along and show your support for what a small community can achieve against the odds.

'This is how island life works. You take on roles that you never even considered existed. One job leads to another, plans shift with the weather, and days take on a shape of their own.'

One of our newest residents and visitor services manager Elle has a weekly column in @heraldscotland to write about her new life on Rùm.
This year marks 15, that's FIFTEEN,whole years of community ownership on Rùm.
We have done a pretty good job considering all the obstacles in our way. We will be celebrating in true small Isles tradition with a ceilidh, a big stone, an exhibition in a tent and lots of stories.

It's been a 2.5 year process to attain our IDSS status. We have exciting plans afoot like a dark sky tower and all all sky camera for round the clock online viewing, but we'd rather you came in person so watch out for events planned with @cosmosplntarium
We are super pleased to announce Rum's status as a Dark Sky Sanctuary .
It's been a long journey, and we are really excited to welcome people to visit Rum and enjoy the wonders of our dark skies.

In the last year, we have been on hydro power for 95% of the time*
Not bad for a 120 year old hydro.
