Locals in Killin have appealed to the Scottish Government after being told a corrugated iron shed in the centre of the village was too historically valuable to knock down.
As reported in the Observer earlier this year, local charity the George Hogg Trust had submitted an application to demolish the storage shed at Morenish Place off Main Street, to Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park planners.
However, the planners refused the bid saying it was of “special interest” and that the Killin Conservation Area Appraisal refers to ‘fine examples of corrugated iron buildings all centred on the sinuous Main Street’ - as a result of Breadalbane Estate’s interest in the manufacturing of the material - and further states that ‘the surviving examples are important both in the history of building material and in the development of Killin’.
