RESIDENTS on Ulva were celebrating this week after being told they have the right to buy the island, writes Sandy Neil.
The Isle of Ulva has been in social and economic decline for a number of years. The ambition is to turn this around and manage the estate to provide sustainable benefits for the community in the short to medium term and in the long term for future generations, including the repopulation of the island.
Fisherman and Ulva resident Rhuri Munro, who works out of Ulva Sound, said: ‘Having grown up on Ulva and now bringing up my own children, I’m incredibly proud to be a part of this community right to buy application.’
