The reasons behind the decision by the people of Morvern have been unclear – until now. For the first time one of the main drivers of the scheme, and its chief opponent, have spoken about what led to a convincing majority voting against the community buyout of the deserted 6000-acre Killundine estate. It happened despite a strong local record of assets being community run, and the story raises questions about the amount of work people in remote communities must do to get facilities the rest of us take for granted.

It has sweeping moors and mountains, coastal woods, sparkling sea and pretty lochs – but it also has problems.
