Judges Special Project Award
The Campbeltown Town Hall Project won the “Judges Special Project Award” at the 2016 Herald Property Awards and the judges noted that ‘This year saw many high calibre entries across the categories, some with backstories of tenacity and of communities working together which really impressed myself and my fellow judges. Campbeltown Town Hall really stood out and demonstrated how a small community trust has created a catalyst for revitalisation of a whole town centre.’
