A SCOTTISH glen’s hopes of repopulation have been handed a "pivotal" boost after a community buy-out paved the way for new crofts and affordable housing.
A total of 163 acres over two lots has been purchased by community groups in Glengarry, between Fort William and Fort Augustus, with the aim of constructing six crofts and between four and six new affordable homes.
The community-led project involving Glengarry Community Woodlands, the Woodland Crofts Partnership, and the Communities Housing Trust will “help improve the long-term sustainability of Glengarry”.
