Ulva off Mull was bought out by the community for £4.4 million, three years years ago. Now the organisation which led the community buyout hopes that buying an electric off-road fleet for a transport sharing scheme will encourage people moving to the island not to bring their own vehicles. An electric quad bike and electric “utility task vehicle” – where two people can sit side-by-side – arrived on the island last week, and will be recharged using solar panels. A membership scheme is being established for use of the vehicles, which were funded by the Scottish Government, which residents can book for tasks such as transporting their shopping from the ferry and moving other heavy items.
