Implementation of the Islands (Scotland) Act 2018: report

This is the first report on the implementation of the Islands (Scotland) Act 2018. It is intended to inform the Scottish Parliament of the work that has been carried out on the operation of the Act as required by Part 8, section 28.


Scope

In addition to meeting the reporting requirements specified in the Act, this report provides an overview of some of the Scottish Government's key islands-specific policy activities (including those not governed by the Act).

In 2021, the Scottish Government announced a £4 million funding package to help improve infrastructure on Scotland's islands and to support delivery of the National Islands Plan.

The capital investment was allocated directly to our six local authority partners to fund the improvement, creation or safeguarding of locally developed infrastructure projects.
