Talks successfully concluded with Buccleuch Estates for historic transfer in the Muckle Toon of Langholm
The hub of community events in Dumfriesshire's Muckle Toon from the annual Langholm Common Riding to the Langholm Agricultural Show, and sports events from horse-racing to cricket, the Castleholm ground has been historically used by the public with permission from owners Buccleuch Estates.
Buccleuch has asked that current users of Castleholm have continued access for their events and sporting activities, and have stipulated that it must only be used for activities with a direct link to and for the benefit of the local community. “The community have shown great support for the initiative, and I am delighted the transfer can take place.
Over several public consultation events, Castleholm Community Trust Limited outlined their ambitions and plans for the area and the community were behind the change of ownership, with over 50 per cent expressing their support.
