South Islay Development

We strive to make positive change in the community and to make Port Ellen a better place to work, live and play for the community and future generations to come.

SID aims to work with and empower community groups in initiating and supporting projects to make the community an attractive place to work and play.

Central to these aims is that the actions carried out by SID will be informed and led by residents of the South Islay locality.
