Notes
The Community Co-operative now has over 600 shareholders and, with the help of European funding, was able to open the first phase of the Lochaber Rural Complex in October 1999.
Phase 1 includes a Flexible Auction Mart that, as well as providing the facility for the livestock business, is also used by the local community for Country Fairs, Dog Shows, Christmas Services and Family Fun Days. The Complex has also been hired by a Film Crew this year as part of a documentary series to go out in 2002. Being a Flexible Mart, the Complex can also be used for conferences or exhibitions as a result of its innovative overhead and underseat heating. In addition, retail units can be leased by local businesses or community organisations.
The Lochaber Rural Complex is now planning Phase 2 which will incorporate a Visitors' Centre telling the story of Lochaber life, an Agricultural Museum, a Children's Farm, a Picnic area and an Adventure Playground.
