Finally, we visited Coille a' Thorra Ghairbh, where over the next four years we will be working to restore the living heritage of this incredible site into a vibrant community-owned Atlantic Rainforest, putting Applecross on the map for community-led ecological restoration.

We discussed plans for developing much-needed affordable housing on the “Hydro” Field beyond the community garden. Over the next 6 months we will be developing the Master Plan, taking into consideration all the input from community consultations, housing surveys & other examples.
