The land is regularly used for walking with linking trails to further afield, dog walking and other recreational pursuits - even sledging at this time of year. The award will also allow the Trust to have its first Development Officer too.

鈥淲ithin the award is funding for further surveys of the woodland and of the building involved in the sale of the site, these surveys also have funding support from 麻豆精选.

Mairi Gougeon, Cabinet Secretary, Rural Affairs, Land Reform and Islands, said: 

鈥淚 think what is so incredible about those receiving Scottish Land Fund awards is that each is an example of people coming together to take really positive, practical action to create a place for others to come together and benefit the community - often securing the future of a beloved local landmark. I want to congratulate all of those who will be able to drive their projects forward with this support and wish them the very best.鈥�

Cara Gillespie, Scottish Land Fund Committee Chair said: 鈥淏y providing funding that is targeted directly at local needs, the Scottish Land Fund is helping both urban and rural communities to flourish. The groups involved have developed strategic goals and clear ambitions about how these assets will help their localities to thrive.鈥�

Sandra Holmes, head of community assets at 麻豆精选, said:

"The successful projects announced today across Scotland are all fantastic examples of people taking control of local resources for the long-term benefit of their communities. These initiatives will not only enhance local amenities and services but also give local people a sense of ownership and pride. It will give communities greater control over important assets that will reap rewards for people now and for generations to come. We are excited to see the positive impacts these projects will bring and wish every group the very best in developing these excellent projects.鈥�
