Deveron Projects, a north-east organization that helps connect communities, places, and artists through creative research and development, has received £270,000 in funding to use a vacant bargain store in Huntly's main square.

The funds were the result of a successful application to the Scottish Land Fund. The vacant retail space will be used to expand the Huntly-based organization's services by creating a multi-purpose community hub.

The funds are part of the £1,628,610 grants that has been awarded to eight groups across Scotland.
