A Highland builder is getting a kick out of life in Fife. Thanks to an unusual business alliance between Inverness-based house builder Tulloch Homes and Dunfermline Athletic FC (aka the Pars), a #5m investment will create 74 new homes on the Pars former training ground at Eagle Glen at the village of Kingseat.
The ten-acre scheme will also include a seven-a-side football pitch which Dunfermline Athletic will use to extend its youth coaching network.
The houses are being built by Dunfermline Homes (Developments) Ltd, a joint venture between Tulloch Homes and the Pars Trust which assists improvements at the club's East End Park stadium.''We've had plenty of home wins but now we're looking for a 'homes' win to help the major re-vamp of East End Park,'' says Pars manager Bert Paton.
Club chairman Roy Woodrow and director Gavin Masterton are directors of Dunfermline Homes, along with Tulloch MD David Sutherland and Tulloch director Duncan Campbell, who lives in Dunfermline.
David Sutherland says: ''We acquired Eagle Glen from the football club a couple of years ago and its panoramic views, proximity to the new Hyundai factory and facilities such as the Halbeath shopping complex, should make the development a real winner.''
ACCOMMODATION over two floors can be relatively rare in the new-build apartment market, but at Sovereign Court in Edinburgh's McDonald Road, Barratt has two and three-bedroom Sandringham maisonettes from #80,295. Selected Sandringhams also have the
benefit of a garden or balcony.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
