PROMOTING community empowerment through the new community asset transfer scheme (CATS) was behind Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing’s visit to Loch Arkaig on Friday April 28.
Mr Ewing visited the former Forest Enterprise Scotland woodlands at South Loch Arkaig and Glenmallie, which were bought by Arkaig Community Forest and Woodland Trust Scotland in December 2016.
The purchase was one of the last under the National Forest Land Scheme, which has now been superseded by CATS.
