Interpretive Panels

The series of panels around the island were created by Luing History Group and the Community Trust, and Steve Pardue of Differentia Design. They are located across the island, many on slate built plinths that blend in with the local surroundings. Click on the images below to view a large version of each panel.

Funding was provided by Scottish Natural Heritage, The National Lottery Heritage Lottery Fund, LEADER+ and the Nadair Trust.
