Wester Ross marks a milestone

THE Wester Ross community of Torridon opened the doors of its new community centre at the weekend.

The long-awaited Loch Torridon Community Centre consists of a fitness suite, audio visual conference room, a small function room with mezzanine floor, offices and a reception and gallery area with fantastic views of the loch and mountains.

The new centre, designed to complement the existing community hall, represents the culmination of nearly seven years of hard work by members of the community, who began by raising funds and carrying out a feasibility study to extend the existing hall.

This led to the project expanding its vision to encompass a multi-purpose facility which would enhance the lives of local people and attract business from further afield to make the project sustainable.
