KINLOCH CASTLE, SCOTLAND
- DISCARDED / BADLY DAMAGED PICTURES
Written from on-site research and illustrated with photographs from his personal archive by George W. Randall, co-founder on 16 July 1996 of
Kinloch Castle Friends' Association.
Lady Bullough and daughter, Hermione.
Her husband, Sir George Bullough, inherited the island of Rum
from his father in 1891 and commissioned construction of
Kinloch Castle, his late Victorian hunting lodge in 1897, completed 1900.
.
Written on reverse of photograph: "F white and gold". (i.e. Frame white and gold.)
.
For nearly seventy years since acquisition in 1957; Nature Conservancy, later Scottish Natural Heritage, today NatureScot, as custodians of Kinloch Castle,
have allowed this still fully furnished Category A Listed time capsule to be finally closed to the public in 2012, fenced off, the building and contents left to the mercy
of the elements, intruders, ignorance and bureaucratic indifference.
.
Why in 1957 or indeed subsequently was Kinloch Castle
not put in the care of a more appropriate body
by the British government who bought the island, (including castle with contents), from the Bullough Trustees with tax-payers money on 28 February 1957?
