Welcome
to the Loch Fyne Gallery website. Loch Fyne Gallery
is situated on the quayside in the picturesque
fishing village of Tarbert, Kintyre. The distinctive
building built circa 1880 initially housed a chandlery
to service
the large herring fishing fleet sailing out of Tarbert.
The classic novel “Gillespie” written by J. MacDougall
Hay a Tarbert man is based on this business and
owner of that time. The spacious interior design,
especially the grand ornate
ceiling lends itself naturally to its present day
use. The gallery is renowned for having a wide selection
of paintings, prints, books and gifts attracting
visitors from all over
the world. Owned by Rae MacDonald and her husband
Steve, Rae a descendant of the Clan Ranald, aims
to ensure that
the gallery
is an “Aladdin’s
cave, where shoppers can discover that special purchase
in a relaxed atmosphere”.
This web site has been designed to let you see what the gallery has to
offer and to enable past visitors to keep in touch. We hope you enjoy your
browse.
