The Trust’s first project was to take over the ownership of the site of a former aircraft hangar in the centre of the village with a view to turning it into a Green open space for the village.  The Trust embarked on a major fund-raising programme with grants from the National Lottery and Highlands & Islands Enterprise amongst others, to not only purchase the site but too landscape and carry out planting. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today, the Trust manages this amenity which has become a central feature of the village with trees, plant beds and benches and seating, two of which have been beautifully carved by a local craftsman.  Three stone plinths were also erected on the site on which to mount information boards highlighting the prominent features, points of interest and history of the village.

These information boards, one featuring Evanton North, the second highlighting Evanton South and the third Historical Evanton, now serve as a useful point of information for both residents and visitors to the village alike.

 

The Green is available to local groups and organisations for outdoor events in the Summer. If you wish to book the Green, click here.
