The Festival’s aims are (1) to promote our maritime and cultural traditions, (2) to provide enjoyment for all the family by offering a wide range of activities at the Festival, and (3) to effectively manage the Salmon Bothy and Maritime Heritage. At a more strategic level the Festival aims to provide a key element of Scotland’s tourist programme; create economic benefits for the community; and develop an understanding and enthusiasm for our culture and heritage amongst all age groups and the young in particular.
