https://hynishtrust.orgOur Vision
We celebrate Hynish as a nationally important example of a nineteenth-century lighthouse shore station and Skerryvore lighthouse as ‘the noblest of all extant deep-sea lights’. We will use these structures and their stories, and the genius of Alan Stevenson, as our inspiration to create, for the benefit of Tiree, a modern, vibrant community where people want to live, work and visit.
Our Values
We celebrate community ownership of the Hynish lighthouse shore station.
We are responsible for the lighthouse shore station, and understand that a successful Hynish benefits the whole island.
We are sustainable, working towards a long-term future that is viable both financially, socially and environmentally.
We are rooted in the powerful heritage of the place whilst embracing new technology and fresh ideas.
We collaborate with partner organisations on and off island, and with the Tiree community, to maximise resources, skills, and knowledge.
Our Objectives
To create employment opportunities through the provision of flexible workspace and skills training.
To address the chronic shortage of affordable housing in the community for key workers and people on low incomes.
To provide performance, rehearsal, learning and/or exhibition space for arts and cultural activities.
To provide recreational facilities.
To preserve the lighthouse shore station at Hynish, and other features of historic, prehistoric and/or architectural significance in
the vicinity.
To increase public knowledge and awareness of the historic lighthouse shore station at Hynish as well as Skerryvore lighthouse
and other relevant topics.
