Designed by ThreeSixty Architecture, the development will form part of a larger roll out of accommodation in the region for the university

Proposed for a derelict abattoir site near Royal Dornoch Golf Club, the accommodation will serve students undertaking UHI’s professional golf degree.

Developer Cityheart Ltd said the singles rooms would be spaced across two-storeys and would give students access to shared kitchens and living spaces. There would also be parking spaces for residents outside.

These proposals will soon go out to public consultation and it is hoped that if plans get the go ahead, the facilities could open by May 2017.
