We want to be clear that the flags which have apparently appeared very recently on top of Suilven have nothing to do with us, are not authorised and do not represent our view in any way. As a charity, we keep out of politics.

We understand the flags were removed and taken away after being filmed.

Cnoc nan Each bridge gots its fix today. Big shout out to the Foundation crew and volunteers who made it happen!

03/09/2026

We have decided to postpone the work on Cnoc nan Each bridge planned for Friday to Saturday due to the very bad weather forecast for Friday.

25/08/2026

We have had to close the bridge at Cnoc nan Each today because it is unsafe, even for pedestrian use. A temporary repair is being planned and we hope the bridge will be back in pedestrian service within a couple of weeks.

It is NOT on the route to Suilven from Lochinver, so it won't spoil your day if you were planning to go up Suilven from Lochinver.

Members and Supporters of Assynt Foundation should have an email from us today ( 26 August), with a detailed brief about bridges. If you haven't got it, email our Secretary on [email protected] or text 07367-472788.

In a new guest blog, Dr Bobby Macaulay explores why demand for large-scale community land ownership remains strong, even as the number of new acquisitions has slowed. Drawing on new research, he looks at the barriers communities face, from funding and capacity to complex processes, and what could help unlock future opportunities.

It's a timely contribution to an important conversation.

And next week we'll build on that conversation as we publish new advice looking at the practical steps needed to help more communities benefit from community ownership.
