Museum trust mulls legal action against council

Falconer Museum trustees say a dispute with Moray Council is “heading towards litigation unless wiser counsel prevails”. The council cut the museum's £80,000 annual funding earlier this year, and the museum was expected to close at the end of October. Three of its trustees – the only trustees independent of the council – argue the council would be in breach of a 1996 agreement if it does not continue to "manage, administer and finance" the museum.
