Tomintoul and Glenlivet Regeneration Project

A project is currently underway in the Tomintoul and Glenlivet area to look at the current economic challenges affecting the community and to identify possible solutions.

The project is being co-ordinated by the Cairngorms National Park Authority on behalf of the following partners:

  • Kirkmichael and Tomintoul Community Association
  • Glenlivet and Inveravon Community Association
  • Tomintoul and Glenlivet Highland Holidays
  • The Crown Estate
  • The Moray Council
  • Highlands & Islands Enterprise
  • VisitScotland

These partners oversee and advise on the project through a steering group.

Progress to date

A baseline audit of the area was completed in October 2011. This audit helped to identify potential opportunities for regeneration of Tomintoul and the wider Glenlivet area. These opportunities were discussed and prioritised at a public meeting in November, attended by over 60 people from the local community. All of the information from that meeting has now been fed into a Strategy and Action Plan to help regenerate the area. This Strategy and Action Plan can be used by the community to prioritise action and obtain funding to deliver key projects in it. At the meeting there was strong support for a Community Development Trust to be established to take forward the opportunities identified. A Master Plan is also being developed to guide what the landscape and buildings look like in the future and how they are used.
