The Highland Council has said it is to support community projects at Foyers and Kyle.

At Foyers, the local authority is to purchase land and build 21 additional car parking spaces at the Falls of Foyers. The plans formalise bus/coach parking close to the Falls of Foyers and to the nearby Waterfall Café and Foyers Stores, while pedestrian access along the B852 and to the public toilets will also be improved. The cost of the project is £120,000.


At Kyle, the council is to said to be contributing £64,404 towards the £324,316 project of environmental and access improvements to the Plock of Kyle. This will help enhance the use of the Plock as a tourist feature, providing new cycle opportunities as well as avoiding traffic through the residential areas of Kyle by providing direct access to the Plock from the A87.

The Plock is held in trust by the Hamilton Park Trustees for the people of Kyle and extends to 100 acres.

Funding for both projects was confirmed by the Council's Finance Housing and Resources Committee earlier this week.
