About West Harris Trust
The West Harris Trust is a community charity responsible for managing 6578ha of land on the west side of the Isle of Harris, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
The Trust was formed when the crofting townships of Losgaintir, Seilebost, Horgabost, Na Buirgh and Sgarasta Mhor were purchased from the Scottish Government in January 2010. We believe that a long history of declining population and limited opportunities can be turned around by local endeavour and that there is a bright future for our 120-strong community.
The Trust is a registered Scottish Charity SC041920 and company limited by guarantee SC347176
Our key aims:
- Revitalize the community by attracting new residents and creating new housing and employment opportunities
- Create environmentally sustainable energy for the community via small hydro and micro-wind projects
- Conserve and increase understanding of our stunning natural heritage
