Other Projects
Trumland Land Ownership
The trust owns 690 Hectares of land – the Trumland Estate. Our community turbine is located on the land, and alongside it the newly opened ‘Heart of Rousay’ boardwalk, affording amazing views to all visitors (wheelchair friendly).
Community Device Support
Community education and learning is a key aim for the trust. We secured a grant to supply all three islands with up to date computers with printers/scanners, and 5 iPads which will be available on a loan basis. We will also run community IT learning sessions.
Community Allotments
Residents can rent an allotment or space in our polytunnel, as well as accessing equipment to help with growing and self-sufficiency.
