Common Good Funds are the assets and income of the former burghs of
Scotland. They represent a substantial portfolio of land, property and investments and by law continue to exist for the Common Good of the inhabitants of the former burghs

Highland Council has wide discretion over Common Good so long as it is
applied for the benefit of the community in such a manner as using reasonable judgement they think proper and having regard to the interests of the inhabitants of the former burgh.

For further details about specific Common Good Funds, please contact the relevant Ward Manager.
