Tarlair lido’s restoration is more than a preservation effort—it’s a new paradigm for sustainable tourism in Scotland. The Friends of Tarlair’s 99-year lease and charitable status ensure the site remains a community asset for generations.
This project proves that passionate, persistent communities can achieve world-class restoration without commercial compromise. Strategic partnerships with renowned architects demonstrate how local vision can resonate on a national scale.
As climate change and evolving tourist demands reshape the industry, Tarlair’s model offers a sustainable, authentic alternative—one that keeps economic benefits and cultural pride firmly rooted in the local community.
