HEAD OFFICE Craignure 01680 812475 A Note from the Show President As I write this the sun is still shining and all I can do is cross fingers that this continues into August. I would like to welcome you all, visitors and locals alike, to the 2018 Salen Show. This year we have a number of new sponsors. The cost of running the show is huge and we are very grateful to those businesses and individuals who ease this burden. There are also some new trophies, which are being awarded in memory of some very special people who were great friends of the Show. Thank you to their families for these lasting memories. Due to increased number of entries we have introduced a third sheep ring this year, which should speed up the sheep judging. Don’t miss the ever popular horse show, which is held on the top field. In the lower field there will be many attractions and trade stands to keep you busy and entertained. Have a wonderful day!

  • Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan
    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan 2011 In 2010 the Ross of Mull (including Pennyghael and Tiroran) and Iona were identified by Highlands and Islands Enterprise as being an area which could receive support through their Growth at the Edge (GatE) programme. This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible. Pennyghael village, A.
