Louise – this is crazy, I’ve read recently that the National Trust for Scotland is having serious financial problems and there you are trying to book something with them and you can’t them to reply to you.

I am from the area and remember the hall as a magical building. As a child I always thought fairies lived in it! From the pictures I have seen it looks awful. Sorry NTS, but you appear to messed up. Having to explaing the ‘effects’ on the visitor or swirling water and fire is completely lost on me. Another tragic art attack.

Just to update you all! I was there 2 weeks ago just after my man proposed and i wanted to see it as i always planned on getting married there.
The colour has faded alot to a reddy/maroon now and looks ALOT better!

I took my young family to the hermitage last Monday, as beautiful as ever, and while I agree that there was no neccessity to change what was already there sadly in this day and age if something is to be preserved for others to still enjoy then changes have to be implicated. From what ive seen it has been done to prevent vandalism and preservation and they have done such by depicting the original story of Ossian on the walls. It is a shame that it had to have changed but even nowadays you couldn’t leave your granny outside a shop without her being stolen or drawn on!!! I have to say that some people still do not respect the place and never mind the art on the walls, the litter that has been left lying around over shadowed any grumbles about the newly decorated hall!!!!
