A successful day spent with the wonderful Kerrera community at Old School House who listened about home, boat & water safety plus recruitment 🚒 Thank you to all who visited & took the time to enjoy a cuppa, talking fire service & safety tips!

In the face of extreme adversity, our wee community stepped up and built its own road to connect the island poulations in the North and South of Kerrera. Here's to giving out more fishing rods to groups who can make a difference!

Today with @DTAScot members on Isle of Kerrera @IKDT16 Old School House with established and other early stage groups. Discussions on #communitywealthbuilding #localauthorityservices #supportnetworks #procurement #ambitions
We did it! The new road has been finished! This is a momentous moment in the history of Kerrera, we are no longer a divided island and all residents can now safely access the lifeline ferry... amazing!

Kerrera was somewhere I'd not been before I started researching my book. It has an exceptionally interesting coastline.
#InnerHebrides @IKDT16
ALT rocky, grassy coastline, with little coves and skerries
A momentous occasion!The road connecting the north of Kerrera to the centre of the island is open! Residents are delighted and slightly in disbelief! We walked together as a community on the new road at the weekend to celebrate… it was emotional! @scottishislandsteam @scotgov
