Caithness news
Anne:
That's an interesting response Frank, and makes one wonder just what is going on within the Dartington company. Is it an about face, or is it a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing? I'm interested to read how Dartington respond to the Kilmartin revelations.
Frank:
I think it is quite possible that Dartington are just wanting the Caithness and Whitefriars names - a move to Crieff might keep things going just long enough to make it look like 'they tried' and recover some of the outlay. Of course speculation is pointless, just a natural reaction :angel:
twenty_zero_six:
trust me Dartington wanted that Visitors Centre!! The Visitors Centre at Torrington is supurb and does very well - one of the reasons DC is still made in the UK, apart from the collectors society, theres not alot left of Caithness after Edinburgh destroyed it. The directors at DC have alot of links with Caithness of old, and they will look after the brand and the people as much as they can. As for the brands, dont forget DC brought the Selkirk name as well
Frank:
Perhaps they think Crieff will work because of the past visitor centre of PP. But that one was always empty when I visited, whereas Perth was always crowded.
