The space to grow

If there is one thing the Outer Hebrides have in abundance, it's space. Here there is room to grow and develop both personally and professionally.

With room for children to thrive, the islands offer a safe environment for family life. Education and leisure facilities are excellent, all the main islands offer schooling to the 6th year and digital technology continues to expand opportunities for learning through the University of the Highlands and Islands.

Room for communities to flourish. The variety, quality and affordability of our housing is hard to beat. There are homes to suit most tastes and grants are available for building and renovation projects. Whether you choose to live by the moor or by the beach, in rural bliss or in town centre sophistication you can do so in security and peace - this is still a place of warm welcomes and unlocked doors.

Room for businesses to prosper. Commercial property on the islands is of a very high standard. Our business parks and industrial estates can cater for most business needs and financial help can be made available for new build projects. More and more businesses are realising the huge development poten-tial of the islands and are choosing to locate their commercial operations here.
