Bid to relocate Land Commission in the Isles

Angus MacMillan Chairperson for Stòras Uibhist, added: “A unique opportunity exists to locate the newly established Scottish Land Commission within South Uist and we urge the Minister (Roseanna Cunningham) to give full consideration to the mutual benefits that could be achieved by locating within the South Uist area.”
Storas Uibhist look forward to hosting the Minister on South Uist, so that she can see first-hand what the estate has to offer.
