Housed in a church building dating back to the 18th century, Kilmorack Gallery is definitely worth a visit.

The Gallery is looking forward to a major face-lift through 2007. The exterior is going to be reharled by one of the top harlers in the United Kingdom, starting around easter time. Harling is a special building surfacing technique that involves plastering with a mix of stone chips and small pebbles. It will then be lime washed after setting. This creates a lasting exterior shield for the church.

Kilmorack Gallery is involved in the Own Art scheme. This program falls under the direction of the Scottish Arts Council and is a major art loan plan. Through the Own Art system art enthusiasts are offered a loan at 0%. This is certainly an amazing opportunity for those who love art, but have not been able to afford major works.
