A consultation has been launched on the Scottish Government’s Croft House Grant Scheme (CHGS).
The scheme provides financial assistance for the improvement and maintenance of crofter housing with the aim of attracting and retaining people in remote areas of the Highlands and Islands.
For the next 12 weeks, the Scottish Government is formally seeking views on the future shape of the scheme and its payment rates.
Building costs have gone up in the 10 years since the latest scheme started.
However, the assistance rates have remained frozen since 2015.
