Turadh offers low-cost and no-cost holiday accommodation to anyone working for the common good in Scotland.

Our three beautiful holiday homes that are open to community leaders, campaigners, carers, land workers, health workers, teachers, community artists and activists across Scotland. Many of those who stay with us come for a much-needed break from running organisations such as food-banks and advice centres, or from working in challenging and often underfunded public services. Some come looking for space and time to complete work or plan a new project. Others are simply seeking somewhere to press pause and experience the kind of deep rest and renewal only nature can provide.
