Top Marks for Highland Schoolhouse Conversion
Rural communities struggling to meet demand for local housing are being encouraged to follow in the footsteps of the Highland village of Achiltibuie and apply to a Scottish Government fund to help convert empty properties into homes.
The Coigach Community Development Company, based in Achiltibuie along with the Highland Small Communities Housing Trust (HSCHT), have successfully secured backing from the Rural Housing Fund for a project to transform an empty schoolhouse into two flats.
