Applecross is a small village on the north west coast. It is reached by the mountain pass of Bealach na Bà and is on the popular North Coast 500 route, receiving thousands of visitors a year.
Facing a lack of quality, affordable housing for residents, and particularly older residents with health or care needs, CHT worked in partnership with Applecross Community Company (ACC) to purchase the site from NHS Highland, adjacent to Applecross GP surgery, via Community Asset Transfer with funds from the Scottish Land Fund.
CHT provided development agency services to ACC, to build three accessible homes at An Toll Bàn with further funding from the Rural Housing Fund, HIE, SSE's Sustainable Development Fund, and Apple Juice Hydro.
Residents moved in during March 2022. We are delighted that these are the first community-owned homes on the Applecross peninsula - but not the last!
