We live in a wonderful place, but it’s not without its challenges.
What should our priorities be for the future?
Our Strathglass. What next?
Deadline - 12 April
That’s the question everyone in the Strathglass Community Council area is being asked in March—April 2026.
Transport, community, public services, jobs, housing, nature, climate change, renewables infrastructure, or other things…
Your priorities will be the foundation of a new Plan for our community’s future - our Plan - which we’ll prepare with you during 2026.
The Strathglass Plan will influence public services, guide how community benefit money & other funding is spent, and shape future change.

Your place, your plan
Local community organisations have come together to help the local community to create a Strathglass Plan for our shared future.
What should go into the Plan is up to the local community - you, your family, friends and neighbours.
During the course of 2026, together we will prepare a new community-led plan for Strathglass. Nobody knows what will be in the Plan yet. The priorities it tackles will be the local community’s priorities, shaped by you. It’s an exciting opportunity to shape our community how we want.
You can find out more about community-led planning and see examples of how it has helped other communities on the About page.
The Plan will be prepared in three stages:
Ideas and aspirations and ideas: During Spring 2026, we’ll reach out as widely as we can to give everyone the opportunity to contribute. What do you like about your community? What could be better? The first steps include asking every resident to fill in this short survey, discussions with schools and community groups, and a fun community event on 29 March with music and a free lunch (really!).
Actions: in April and May, we’ll share all the results and organise community conversations to fully understand your priorities and explore your ideas. More details about these events will follow in the Spring.
Plan: in the Summer, everything will come together in an overall Plan - first a draft for you to check, and then a final version for Highland Council to register as our Local Place Plan.
Then comes the exciting work of making it happen!
The Plan will be built from suggestions from everyone in the community. So it’s important that everyone has their say!
The easiest way of doing that is to complete the short survey by hitting the button. You might win £50!
The deadline is Sunday 12 April.
Take the survey
The survey was delivered to every household in Strathglass in mid-late March, so you can fill in a paper copy if you prefer.
Please don’t restrict yourself to one response per household. The more responses the better. The Plan should belong to everybody.

Cannich Spring Session
Around 70 folk came along to a special Cannich Spring Session on Sunday 29th March to enjoy tasty soup and cake, live music and plenty of creative chat about the future of the community!
It was an opportunity to find out more about the survey and the plan, and enjoy chatting with other residents about the future of the community. With a giant map for ideas, using local photos old and new to make collages, model-making with plasticine, or sharing your greatest fear for the future… there was something for everyone!
Keep an eye out for a write-up of everyone’s comments at the event, together with responses to the survey, in late April / early May.
