AN AWARD of £440,500 from the Scottish Land Fund for the Leanchoil Trust has been welcomed by Moray MSP Richard Lochhead.
“I’m thrilled that the Leanchoil Trust have secured this significant grant from the Scottish Land Fund," he said, "allowing them to purchase the much loved Leanchoil Hospital and to move forward with plans to bring the site back to life and to once again serve the local community.
“Having met the Trust earlier this year for an update on their plans I know how hard they’ve worked to get to this point and the Trustees will be over the moon at having secured this cash.
