Oban Landmark Lit Up in Cloak of Many Colours

Brian Ó hEadhra · June 8, 2021 ·

The prominent landmark McCaig’s Tower in the resort town of Oban will be lit up on 9 June 2021 by projections featuring the artwork of nine artists. 

Each artist has received funding from The Colmcille Legacy Award – a scheme created by Bòrd na Gàidhlig and the Culture, Heritage and Arts Assembly, Argyll and Isles (CHARTS) to commemorate the life and cultural legacy of St Colmcille as part of the Year of Colmcille, 1500.

The artworks will be projected onto the Tower on 9 June from 10pm to mark the Feast Day of St Colmcille.

For more information, visit the CHARTS website.
