Three Million for Scottish Islands | Glasgow News

Three million pounds in new government funding is set to transform life across twelve Scottish islands, with thirteen projects selected to boost infrastructure, local economies, and community resilience. From affordable housing on Lismore and a marine hub on Mull to veterinary care for crofters on Tiree and youth training in Shetland, the money targets real needs. The largest award—£600,000—goes to Grimsay Together to expand its heritage center as a cultural and economic engine. Other wins include a Skye community hub with childcare and business spaces, and upgraded hairdressing training in Shetland. This round supports Scotland’s National Islands Plan, aiming to reverse depopulation and build sustainable communities. Since 2021, the Islands Programme has distributed over £22 million across 57 islands and 100+ awards. With a new £10 million Resilience Fund announced just days ago to help island businesses weather ferry disruptions, the government is doubling down on long-term island prosperity.
