Plockton & District Community Trust

  • Membership number 8314
  • Charity registered in Scotland SC050271

We were incorporated as a SCIO in July 2020 and are still therefore a young organisation. We aim to work together, as a community, on projects and initiatives big and small that will strengthen our area of Plockton & District (covering the communities of Plockton, Achnandarach, Duncraig, Craig, Duirinish and Drumbuie). We have already successfully lobbied Highland Council to retain and refurbish a local council house rather than sell it on the open market. We are also progressing a visitor management plan for Plockton with Highland Council. We are in the process of purchasing the old Post Office from the National Trust for Scotland which is used as a local outlet for selling newspapers and local knitwear. The Community has enjoyed informal use of this building for over 20 years and purchase will secure this valuable asset. We are also negotiating a lease from a private individual of "the paddock", an open area of land used on an informal basis for the local primary school sports. Conclusion of the lease will secure this use and allow us to consider other wider community uses.We work closely with other community organisations such as Plockton & District Community Council, Plockton Village Hall Committee and Plockton Harbour Company.
