Uig Development Trust

The Uig Development Trust SCIO (UDT) exists for the benefit of the community of Uig.  The trust works with individuals, community groups, and other trusts to support sustainable community development in a collective and responsible manner.

The Trust acts as landlord for the Uig Community Shop.  This essential service, for both residents and visitors, is operated commercially by the Uig Community Co-operative and provides groceries, camping supplies, petrol, a post office, and a laundrette service. The Trust reinvests the rental income back into the shop and into community projects.

We have recently purchased an area of land from HIE for the purpose of building business units. These units will be built by the development trust and will be made available to rent by local businesses. We are investigating the possibility of further land purchase in the Uig area, with the potential for projects including renewable energy generation and tourist facilities.
