Friends of Tiree Chapels is a biannual newsletter circulated to interested people.
The title indicates the principal project in recent years of preserving Tiree's ancient
chapels from complete collapse.
As scheduled ancient monuments, the project has had the valued support of Historic Scotland. The Nàdair Trust, which co-ordinates a wide range of environmental and heritage projects in the Argyll Islands, successfully applied to the Heritage Lottery Fund for substantial grant funding and now mediates this funding and assists with project management.
