Did you know that some of the land around our villages is held as "Common Good" land?

Along with other assets previously belonging to the Royal Burgh, it is now owned and administered on our behalf by The Highland Council. Some of the income from these properties is allocated to Common Good funds which can then be used in our area.

One Common Good property in Fortrose and Rosemarkie is currently leased for use as the Golf Club car park. Another, the Rosemarkie campsite, is currently leased to the Camping and Caravanning Club.  

Both leases are now under review and the Council wants to hear local views.  The Council proposes to lease them for 20 years (car park) and 30 years (campsite). A description of the process involved is available here. The two consultations are here (car park) and here (campsite).

The closing date for the consultation is Monday 29th September.
