A number of projects have been started and/or completed.
Scourie Harbour: A project started by the Scourie and Badcall Grazings Committee, with funding through LEADER, Scourie Estate, and Highland Council, a ten year lease of the pier was arranged, and works undertaken to repair the pier. A picnic area, and information boards have also been created. Stage 2 of the project is intended to further improve accessibility, surveys have been taken to identify further possabilities for improvements.
Woodland footpaths: In 2013, a footpath was created from the Highland Council depot to loch A' Bhadaidh Daraich, with a branch leading to a viewpoint at Cnoc a' Bhuthain. A further path linking to the old Peat road has been partially upgraded, with hopes for completion once funding is found. The paths also have way markers, and provision for a further picnic site.
Scourie Sports Pavilion: Featuring high on the list of objectives, the Sports Pavilion Project was completed in April 2014, with funding of £300,000+ secured from Highland LEADER, HIE, The Highland Council, The Lady Jane Grosvenor Trust, The Anne, Duchess of Westminster Charity and The Westminster Foundation, and is now a valuable community asset.
The Pavilion is managed by a very able sub-committee of SCDC Ltd, and is regularly used by local schools, clubs, The North West Sutherland League and Kinlochbervie Camanach. The Committee have also established an annual Summer Gala held at the Sports Field.
