Community Ownership Roadshow: Wigtown
We’re hitting the road – and bringing the cake!
Join us in Wigtown as part of our community ownership roadshow, where we’ll be sharing inspiring stories, practical advice, and plenty of coffee with communities across Scotland.
On Thursday 18 September, we’ll be at The Merse in Wigtown to explore how community ownership can transform places, empower people, and build a stronger future.
This free session will explore:
- An introduction to community land ownership – What is it? How does it work? Where do you begin?
- Understanding your community rights – Learn how to register an interest in land or buildings.
- Support and funding – Get an overview of the help available to communities at every stage of the journey.
- Stories from the ground – Hear directly from the Wigtown & Bladnoch Community Initiative about their successful efforts to purchase The Merse and the Wigtown Ploughman Community Pub.
There’ll be short presentations, followed by plenty of time for questions, informal chats, and the chance to connect with representatives from Community Land Scotland, Development Trusts Association Scotland, and the Scottish Land Fund.
Whether you’re just curious or already planning a community buyout, this session is for you. Come along, get inspired – and bring your neighbours!
