The Cludgie Project is a partnership project which has now created much-needed facilities for motorhomes and campervans in the car park area at Assynt Leisure Centre, in the harbour area of Lochinver.   Facilities include chemical toilet waste disposal, grey-water disposal and freshwater top-up, and users are also able to access facilities including Wi-Fi and showers in the leisure centre.  The project works also improved the car park surface and created more parking spaces.  Overnight parking for motorhomes and campervans is also possible by arrangement with Assynt Leisure. 

The project’s main works, carried out in two phases, were completed in 2022 by Anderson Civils Engineering Ltd.  Some technical design elements were done by Cameron Ross Engineers, the contactless payment system was installed by Highland Technical and some additional ​work on header tank housing was carried out by Assynt Upkeep.

This project has been funded by:

  • the Scottish Government’s Rural Tourism Infrastructure Fund, managed by Visit Scotland and administered on our behalf by Highland Council
  • the Scottish Government and European Community’s Highland LEADER Programme
  • the Highland Coastal Communities Fund
  • Highlands & Islands Enterprise
