Rotary Leads Signs Project

A series of seven black and gold finger-post signs have been installed around Kirkcudbright pointing the way to 15 public attractions and facilities. Making it easier for tourists to explore all the town has to offer,the project was initiated by Kirkcudbright Rotary Club and taken up by the
Kirkcudbright Forum, who secured the greater part of the funding required.
Thanking all funders and supporters for their contribution, Andy Campbell, chairman of
Kirkcudbright Forum, said:"In many ways this project brought out the very best in Kirkcudbright.
The community identified a way in which the town would benefit from more attractive looking signage and lots of people in the community all pulled together to deliver the project in a very short period of time. "I believe that the signs will be very much appreciated by both residents and visitors to the town."
Alex Kinnell from Kirkcudbright Rotary led a small project team from the Forum, which designed and steered the signage project to its successful conclusion.
The project would not have gone forward without a successful application to the Dumfries and
Galloway Coastal Benefit Fund, administered by Dumfries and Galloway Council, and the all important support of several community organisations - Kirkcudbright Rotary, Kirkcudbright Development Trust, Kirkcudbright Summer Festivities, the Harbour Cottage Trust and Kirkcudbright History Society which together provided the necessary local match funding required to secure the main grant.
The Forum also received a total of 10 letters of support for the project from various organisations in the community.
