Our Island Home is an initiative of Rural Housing Scotland that has been designed to help young people in the Hebrides remain in their rural communities through access to affordable housing.
We are a housing information, advice and development service.
Between 2013 and 2014, OIH ran an architectural design competition seeking a two bedroom affordable island starter home to be built for under £100,000. A whopping 50 entries were received and the winner was an innovative design by Tom Morton of Arc Architects based in Cupar, Fife.
