Communities in the Highlands are set for a £28 million windfall thanks to energy giant SSE.

To mark the completion of a new wind farm at Stronelairg, near Fort Augustus, the firm has created the Stronelairg Community Development Fund.

Organisations including sports hubs, training initiatives and medical facilities will be able to apply for financial support with £1,183,500 being handed out annually for the next 25 years.

Local MP Drew Hendry said: “This new fund is fantastic news for communities throughout the Great Glen.

“Access to this fund will enable our communities to develop infrastructure, improve services and invest in projects to benefit the people living and working in the local area.”
