A pub in an historic Fife village and former farm buildings in Lanarkshire will pass into community hands as communities across Scotland today start their Christmas celebrations early with grants from The Scottish Land Fund.
The Red Lion Inn in Culross and Loanhead near Tarbrax are set to be bought by their local communities following awards from the Scottish Land Fund. The awards are part of a package of grants to 12 groups in Scotland totalling 2,754,897.
