News Update
4th May 2006

The opening news to the folk who are regular visitors to Kilchoan, the Grieves Cottage is now complete & fitted out ready for rental. Pictures will be on our web-site very soon.
I'll start off by welcoming Cara's new twin boys to their home at the Gathering, named Robbie & Archie. Other arrivals back on the peninsula are Ali, who'll be working with Jacqui here at Kilchoan & also some work time with Murray and Gwen at the Pier House. Our last arrival back from basking in South Africa & Australia, is "The Butcher". He's home for the season to look after the Old Dairy and the Old Byre.
The latter dwelling being the main residency of the workforce for the new pier in Inverie village.
The pier has over-run a little with the finishing date now standing at the end of June.
The structure is looking fantastic, all fendering, ladders, bollards etc now in situ: It just needs the remedial works of tidying up all around done and this will have it set to go.

We say goodbye to Louise Slack this week who is leaving the position of nursery teacher. We wish her all the best in the future.
Interviews for the position commence next week and I wish the local interested parties for the job, the best of luck!
If it's anything like allocating houses? It will certainly be interesting to
stand back & peruse.
