Isle of Rum, by captain.tarmac

The Isle of Rum Community Trust is taking steps to attract new residents to the island and has put the Tattie House, a property requiring extensive renovation, on the market for offers over £40,000. The property comes with around a quarter acre of garden ground and splendid views out across Loch Scresort.

What do you think is the biggest opportunity for rural Scotland in the next 20 years?

Assets for Economic Regeneration

Hanging baskets in Langholm

By Petra Vergunst

When Langholm Initiative was founded in 1994, the town's High Street had seven empty shops and a local care home had just closed its doors. Now, all shop premises are occupied and the economy is blooming. Flower baskets in the shopping street and walking, cycling and heritage trails have been part of the strategy to promote Langholm as a destination for short breaks to put it back on the map again.
