Community land

In partnership with our colleagues in the Community Land Unit at Highlands and Islands Enterprise we can assist communities to establish the feasibility, complete the purchase and undertake the development of local land and land assets.

We can not only help with large scale and high profile projects like the community purchase of Gigha, but also much smaller local projects, such as the purchase of a building for use as a community-owned visitor attraction.

The Scottish Land Fund has been established by the New Opportunities Fund - a National Lottery distributor.  It is administered by Highlands & Islands Enterprise in partnership with Scottish Enterprise with a total fund of £10 million.
