Welcome to Sleat Community Trust

Sleat Community Trust (SCT) was formed in 2003 to support sustainable economic, environmental and social development in the Sleat Peninsula on the Isle of Skye. The area has been one of the fastest-growing rural areas of Scotland, with extensive community and educational developments and a lively and growing population. The Trust has nearly 500 individual members, with over 40 people being involved in the various groups. Over 70 per cent of the local population are members of the Trust.

The principal objectives of the Trust are to promote the area for the benefit of the inhabitants. This includes areas such as education, renewable energy, housing, leisure, tourism and social facilities, development of local businesses and the protection and enhancement of the natural environment. SCT operates two wholly-owned commercial subsidiaries: Sleat Community Trading Company Limited and Sleat Renewables Limited.

In 2011 Sleat Community Trust was honoured to be awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award given to volunteer groups for outstanding work in local communities.

Our Area

Sleat is the southernmost peninsula of Skye, bounded by the Sound of Sleat to the south, Loch Eishort to the west, and Loch na Dal to the north

It is commonly known as “the garden of Skye” for its lush vegetation and rolling hills. The peninsula is home to a number of historical sites, including Armadale Castle, the ancestral home of the MacDonald clan.
