Moray museum likely to close

Falconer Museum in Forres is likely to close at the end of October after Moray Council cut £80,000 of annual funding for the institution earlier this year. Councillor George Alexander, who is also Chairman of the Forres Heritage Trust, said "we have considered setting up a charitable trust to move things forward but at the moment, as far as I understand it, that is not something the museum’s board has the capacity to do".
