Managers of Strathnaver Museum at Bettyhill are celebrating after receiving two substantial funding awards in quick succession.
The National Lottery announced on Wednesday it was awarding its maximum £650,000 Heritage Fund grant to the rural history museum which also this week picked up £113,157 from Museum Galleries Scotlandâs Recovery and Resilience Fund.
Strathnaver Museum is housed in the former parish church of St Columba.
The grant aid means the museum, based in a 1750s former parish church, is well on the way towards launching its long standing plan to renovate the building and create a world class visitor attraction and community heritage hub.
