At Penicuik Estate, we are committed to forging strong, collaborative relationships with the local community. Central to our approach is open, transparent, and inclusive communication, ensuring that community voices are actively heard and considered in shaping the estate’s direction.

We acknowledge that pursuing long-term goals can sometimes lead to short-term challenges that may not satisfy all stakeholders, and certain engagements may occasionally be constrained by commercial or confidentiality considerations. Nevertheless, we remain committed to learning, adapting, and striking a balance between operational, commercial, and community needs.

By upholding these principles and maintaining an ongoing dialogue with the community, we aim to shape a sustainable future that reflects the shared aspirations of all stakeholders.

Community Engagement Plan

The Penicuik Estate engagement plan outlines how we share information, gather feedback, and align land management practices with community input while meeting the estate’s operational requirements and long-term objectives.

It draws on insights from a 2022 community survey, which received over 1,000 responses, as well as feedback from drop-in sessions, stakeholder presentations, and webinars.
