Scottish Land Fund

Plans for a Scottish community to buy the UK's most remote pub have moved closer to completion after the Scottish Land Fund (SLF) granted funding to support the scheme. The Old Forge Community Benefit Society (CBS) has been awarded £508,000 to support the purchase and redevelopment of the pub,

Multiple projects across Scotland have received £3.6 million of funding in the latest round of grants from the Scottish Land Fund. The money will allow groups from both urban and rural areas to take ownership of local assets and put them to use for the benefit of their local communities.

The Scottish Land Fund has awarded the Langholm Initiative charity £1 million towards the purchase of 10,500 acres of Langholm Moor in the south of Scotland, which would see the local community creating a vast new nature reserve.
