Lady Bullough and her daughter, Hermione.
.
For nearly seventy years; (originally Nature Conservancy, later Scottish Natural Heritage, today NatureScot), as custodians of Kinloch Castle, (the late Victorian hunting lodge commissioned by George Bullough on the Inner Hebridean island of Rum in 1897), allowed this still fully furnished time capsule to be closed to the public, fenced off, building and contents at the mercy of the elements and ignorance and bureaucratic indifference.
.
Why in 1957, the time of acquisition, (or indeed subsequently),
was Kinloch Castle with contents in-situ not put in the care of an appropriate body
by the British government who bought the island from the Bullough Trustees
with tax-payers money?
