The purchase of the cottage that was a part of the Seminary building and the fencing of the enclosed land protected by a lease from the Crown creates a unity for the Scalan Association in our new quest to preserve the A listed building for the future

The Annual General Meeting which followed decided to press ahead with the renovation of the new purchase known locally as 'Sandy's Cottage' and feel that it will make necessary some form of fund raising

I would invite you to do one of these things please if you have some view as a member on reading this;

Are you up to date with your subscriptions? The Scalan Association needs your help.

Miss Ann Dean, Mrs Elizabeth Beaton. are acting as Membership Secretaries at the moment in an attempt to create an accurate list of members of the Scalan Association.  This is due to the untimely death of Jane Mc Ewan.   Please contact Ann at 01464 820702 or Michael Briody 01236 872537

 

I hope to increase the number of editions of the Scalan News on the web site before the next AGM so that its value as a Historical Source may increase.   My target is to include them all from 2 to 21 which are missing at the moment.   The fact that we send out over 200 copies of the magazine by post to members suggests a strong membership which we must increase for our project to succeed; if you are currently not a member, are a Catholic or have an interest in History please consider helping us please.

 

Thank You
