Following today's UK government's budget, the Treasury has announced £1 million for 5 community projects across Scotland, including Aberfeldy Sports Club, a Town Hall in Forres, repairs to the Inveraray Pier, and a community grocery shop and cafe in the Kyle Lochalsh in the Highlands.
Commenting after this announcement, Mr Halcro Johnston said:
"I welcome today's announcement of a £280,000 investment in Kyle of Lochalsh for a community grocery shop and café. This is a fantastic project that will make a huge difference to the local area, providing employment and a much needed service for the local community.
"This is another example of the UK government's commitment to supporting rural communities in Scotland. This investment will help to ensure that people in more rural areas have access to essential services and amenities that many of us take for granted.
"I am pleased to see this investment from the UK government and I look forward to seeing the results of this project in the near future."
