Glenuig Inn and Scotland Loves Local Awards

Tabled 13 October 2025 by Mr Angus MacDonald

That this House congratulates the Glenuig Community Inn on being shortlisted in the Most Enterprising Community category of the Scotland Loves Local Awards; notes that, after months of tireless effort, live music fundraising, late-night paperwork, and extraordinary community spirit, the group reached its optimum share offer target of £300,000 and, with support from the Scottish Land Fund, secured the purchase of the iconic Glenuig Inn; recognises that the awards, organised by Scotland’s Towns Partnership, celebrate all that is great about the nation’s towns and neighbourhoods, and the work to ensure they become stronger and more sustainable; further congratulates fellow finalists Ochiltree Community Hub in East Ayrshire and Peterhead Area Community Trust in Aberdeenshire; and wishes all shortlisted communities the very best when the winners are announced in October.
