Kirk urged to hand over redundant manse for villagers
Church officials who have put a manse and adjoining land on the market for more than £225,000 have been urged to hand it over to villagers for a nominal charge to help regenerate their remote community.The redundant manse at Lochaline on the Morvern peninsula has been put up for sale by the Church of Scotland at offers over £196,000, with bids topping £60,000 invited for an adjoining building plot.
But one prominent member of the community, Iain Thornber, says it would be a “gracious act” by kirk trustees if they were to return both to villagers “for the long-term benefit of the parish of Morvern”.
