Update March 2023

Working with a range of partners Scottish Canals has delivered the Treehouse in Inverness – a new community facility located between Carse Industrial Estate and the Caledonian Canal.

The building will allow a number of organisations to come together under one roof to provide a space for offices, workshops, volunteering and community groups for those living around the South Kessock, Merkinch, Scorguie and Dalneigh areas of the city.

Modern building with tree motif on wall.

The £4.5m project, which also included towpath and greenspace improvements in and around the area, was made possible by funding partners: Sustrans, Scotland’s Places for Everyone programme backed by Transport Scotland, the Highland Council, the Scottish Government and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)/Nature Scot.

Scottish Canals has recently appointed a Volunteer Co-ordinator who will help develop a programme of activities with partners to benefit the whole community.

The two-storey building also includes some space for commercial tenants to ensure long-term financial sustainability for the project.
