The bed of the River Garry and its immediately adjacent land in Glen Garry, the heart of the ancient Clan Donald homeland in Inverness-shire, has been put into Trust, to ensure its sustainability for future generations.
In order to provide the Trust with the necessary funding, a website, www.myglengarry.com has been launched to help return this important part of the Clan Donald homeland to clan members.
The website provides funding, via the Myglengarry Trust, for the upkeep, maintenance and regeneration of the land and the river Garry, by selling 1 metre square uniquely identifiable plots of land. Visitors can see form the air, at detail that is a stunning eight times greater than Google Earth, the actual plots available – something no other ‘souvenir plot’ website can provide.
The website has already welcomed clan visitors from around the world. Many of these visitors have taken up the opportunity to purchase small plots of land within the Glen, both for themselves and as gifts for family and friends. The personal messages that have been left on the website’s community pages express the depth of attachment they obviously feel for their ancestral roots and their desire to help ensure the Glen’s beauty is sustainable for future generations.
To make sure that as many clan members as possible know of this project and opportunity, would you be willing to help the Trust by providing a link of some kind from your website to www.myglengarry.com?
We do, of course, appreciate that you may have questions you wish answered or require additional information before agreeing to this, so please do not hesitate to contact trustee Paul Williamson on +44 (0)1603 872331 or info@looking.co.uk
