Tartan Week!

LOCHCARRON VILLAGE TARTAN WEEK,

27th September - 7th October 2024

We invite you to join us at 7.30 pm on Wednesday 10th April, in The Lochcarron Centre to discuss a new initiative called Lochcarron Village Tartan Week – a week to put the village on the map and encourage the community to join in the fun.

 Lochcarron Village Tartan Week was one of the most exciting ideas to emerge from the recent 'Press Pause' workshop in Lochcarron. The workshop was facilitated by Carron Tobin of SCOTO (Scottish Community Tourism) and funded by North Highland Initiative.  We shall be applying for the £2500 kindly offered by the North Highland Initiative to get the project off the ground.

Tartan Week has proven a major success in various places including New York, but Lochcarron has a special claim to fame when it comes to tartan because of our historic links with Lochcarron Weavers.

Inspired by this idea, several local businesses and community organisations agreed to take Lochcarron Village Tartan Week forward and organise a meeting involving representatives from across the community to sound out interest and plan the week in more detail. And that's why we want you to join us.

We do hope that as many groups as possible will get involved with this exciting week of events, and we look forward to seeing you all on the 10th .

Lochcarron & District Business Association are acting as co-ordinators for this event and the email address to contact is tartanweek@lochcarron.org.uk
