Kate Forbes MSP has described the asking price of nearly £100,000 for a small plot of land at Cuaig near Applecross as ‘utterly ridiculous’ given the ‘plentiful land’ which the Highlands boasts.
The 0.061 plot, with detailed planning permission for a three-bedroom house, is on the market for offers over £95,000.
The MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch has called for a radical rethink on how the Highlands can rebalance its lack of affordable housing.
