Glen Ullinish

Muirhall is delighted to continue to work closely with a number of community groups around Glen Ullinish and welcomes the considerable community support for the project. Once constructed, Glen Ullinish Wind Farm will release significant contributions into local communities. However, we have not waited for construction before getting involved on the ground.

In December 2019, Muirhall supported the ‘Light up Portree’ campaign, funding the purchase of festive lights which can be used year on year. During 2020, Muirhall donated £4,000 to the Skye Community Response Initiative through Portree and the Braes Community Trust. Primarily, this funding was used to support local health and social care staff through the COVID 19 pandemic. Muirhall also joined forces with Skye Events to walk, run and cycle as many miles as possible over the month of June to raise additional funds for the initiative. Aside from COVID support, Muirhall also provided funding to Radio Skye for business development and sponsored the local ‘Skye and Lochalsh Restricted Badminton Tournament’ which took place in March 2020.

In 2021, we committed to giving sponsorship to the Isle of Skye Half Marathon and North West Skye FC, both for a period of 3 years. Other, more recent, sponsorships and donations  made to date include:

Portree & Braes Community Trust – donation towards the purchase of land in Portree for allotments

Atlantic R2R – fundraising raffle prize donation

Skye Events – prize sponsorship for Battle of the Isles Race

Carbost Community Shop – purchase of new ice cream freezer

SkyeDance – donation  

Raasay Heritage Trust – donation towards materials for new floor

Skye Sailing Club – match funding for new safety equipment

MacDiarmid Primary School – sponsored litter pick

Radio Skye – sponsorship towards fundraising artwork competition in aid of Ukrainian refugees
