ELITE athletes from the Outer Hebrides are set to benefit from a scheme designed to support travel costs in the islands.
The pilot Islands Athlete Travel Award Scheme from sportscotland will support up to 24 high-performing athletes from across the islands to attend training and competitions.
The aim of this scheme is to help the elite athletes of the Outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland to gain better access to competitive and developmental opportunities available on the mainland.
