It is interesting to note as we view these photographs taken at different times
how things were moved around, the result of loss or damage?

The Wine Cooler (below) would no doubt have taken pride of place during formal dinners in the Castle Dining Room, today it is in the Empire Room.

THE WINE CELLAR HELD A LARGE STOCK
OF WINE AND CHAMPAGNE.

Records indicate the wine and champagne was sold following
acquisition in 1957 and realised £28,000; £5,000 more than Lady
Bullough and the Trustees of Sir George Bullough's Estate
received for the island including Castle and contents!

HOWEVER ... ...

Make sure those with influence appreciate

all could be lost

if Kinloch Castle with its contents in-situ is not saved ... ...

Kinloch Castle has survived so far because of its remote island location.
But official neglect and indifference continue to take a toll on building and contents!
Today the building is considered unsafe and, with its contents still in-situ,
closed to the public!

George W. Randall Research and Photographic Archive

helping ensure ALL the contents of Kinloch Castle,

Isle of Rum, Scotland, officially known as

The Sir George Bullough, Baronet Memorial,

are thoroughly recorded and identified
for academic study and enjoyment of future generations

SAVE KINLOCH CASTLE

WITH ITS CONTENTS IN-SITU.

before it is too late!
