ELCOME TO DUNOLLIE
See the full programme for the Festival of the Sea at Dunollie here.
The exhibition is held in The 1745 House at Dunollie, a new museum and cultural centre in the former servants' quarters of the Seat of the Clan MacDougall. The story of The 1745 House is told in a new displays throughout this remarkable 18th century traditional Argyll house.
Dunollie is the home of the renowned Hope MacDougall Collection, a fascinating social history collection drawn from throughout the Highlands and Islands, and some of the collector's photographs, painting and object collection can be seen in situ in the 1745 House.
There is a rolling programme of exhibitions and a range of activities for all ages, from Kitchen Ceilidhs to fun days and the famous traditional Dunollie cream teas which will be served every Sunday afternoon through July and August.

Dunollie Castle stands high above The 1745 House, and 2012 marks the start of a campaign to raise £1.3million for a programme to consolidate the increasingly unsafe stonework and improve access.
Archaeology Scotland's Adopt a Mounment Scheme is underway at both the Castle, where there are plans to carry out archaeological research, and at the MacDougall burial site at Kilbride Churchyard which will be the subject of a graveyard recording project.
