Would it solve the dearth of accessible housing in our island and rural communities?

Most of these holiday homes are found in Argyll and Bute, Na h-Elieanan Siar, the Orkney Islands and the Highland Council area. It costs around £140,000 to build a new home in the social rented sector. That means the First Minister’s policy initiative would create 248 new homes in Scotland in 2024/25.

Worryingly, housing associations recorded a 27% drop in approvals – so we are already off course to meet the Scottish government’s target of 110,000 affordable homes by 2032 . Historically, it was a working-class aspiration to have a wee cottage, caravan or hut in the countryside.

Five Scottish New Towns were designated from 1947 to 1966: East Kilbride in 1947, Glenrothes in 1948, Cumbernauld in 1956, Livingston in 1962 and Irvine in 1966.
