Tarbat Discovery Centre has announced that it will close at the end of the year unless it finds success in an Urgent Appeal it has recently launched.
This innovative museum, which presents a decade of research excavations conducted by Martin Carver at the only excavated Pictish monastery at Portmahomack, relies heavily on subsidies and local authority funding.
Historic Scotland, the National Museums of Scotland and The Highland Council, are sympathetic to the cause but don’t have the resources to support the museum.
The museum have launched
- An urgent appeal on their website and
- A campaign to raise £125,000 (with £15,000 needed to prevent the museum closing this year).
