Images Finlaggan Official Opening

Saturday 16 May was the official opening of the refurbished Finlaggan visitor centre. Earlier in the week the Finlaggan Trust Committee gave an open invitation to everyone on Islay and Jura to come and celebrate the official opening of their extended Information Centre and the new access bridge to Eilean Mor. It was an afternoon with music, information and the official opening by Catriona Bell by cutting the ribon to the entrance, watched by many people. Mark Unsworth of Islay Studios was present and sent me the following images of the happening:
