New plan for Rum Print E-mail
Friday, 06 June 2008

Environment Minister Michael Russell has outlined a plan for the island of Rum that would see the community owning and operating the land, as well as the introduction of crofting.

Russell has given his approval to the Isle of Rum Community Trust concluding an agreement with Scottish Natural Heritage about how land and property in Kinloch village and Glen can be developed in the ownership of the community.

Russell said:

“The Scottish Government is committed to the sustainable economic development of this truly unique island. In December I convened the Rum Summit, which led to the formation of the Task Group which is meeting jointly with the Rum Steering Group today. Today marks a significant step in the ongoing work that has been carried out.

“I want to see a process put in place to enable the local community to own and manage land and property in Kinloch Village and Glen, and to develop a thriving local community with a sustainable economy. Of course, during that process - which I want concluded as soon as practical - there are a number of issues which need to be resolved. The will is there to resolve them and the Government will ensure that happens.”
