Albyn Housing Society has announced it will build 600 new homes over the next five years, responding to the Highland Council’s 2024 Housing Challenge, which calls for 24,000 new homes in the region over the next decade. This is supported by a £10 million loan from Bank of Scotland.

It has now been over six months since the Scottish Parliament declared a housing emergency. Here in the Highlands, the council declared a ‘housing challenge’ and it is a priority for Albyn Housing Society, and other social and private developers in the area, to deliver much needed homes for local people. There is too much at stake if we do not.
