Struan Xmas Shopping Trip to Inverness – Are you interested?
Fancy a day out? Join us for a day trip to Inverness, leaving Struan Green at 0800 hrs, arriving back at 2000-2100 hrs.
All are welcome, travel is free for all members of the Struan community. Friends of community members are welcome to come, for a small charge, if numbers allow for this.
The bus has space for 33 people, with storage for shopping underneath. We would need at least 20 people signed-up to make the transport viable. Otherwise, we will use the North West Skye minibus, which can carry up to 8 people and their shopping bags, in which case we would need a volunteer driver with D1 on their licence?
Deadline for response – 1st December 2024 please also advise whether you have a D1 license and are willing to drive.

There will be a skip at the re-cycling point from Friday 15th December for use by Struan residents. Please do not leave anything outside the skip and do not fill it above the level of the sides as it will not be taken away. Also please note that there are many items that are not allowed in the skip (see note below).
