Scripture Union Scotland submits planning application for Lendrick Muir expansion

Scripture Union Scotland has submitted a planning application to Perth and Kinross Council for a major development at its Lendrick Muir residential activity centre, creating new facilities for children and young people.

Analysis

For generations of Scottish young people, Lendrick Muir has been a place where faith came alive — where friendships were forged, where God was encountered in the beauty of the Perthshire hills, and where the seeds of lifelong discipleship were planted. Scripture Union Scotland's decision to invest in expanding this beloved centre is an act of faith in the next generation.

The planning application represents years of prayer, planning, and fundraising. It is a tangible expression of SU Scotland's conviction that residential Christian experiences for young people are not a luxury but a necessity — that there is something irreplaceable about taking young people out of their everyday environments and into a space where they can encounter God without distraction.

As the application moves through the planning process, we pray for favour and for the vision to be realised. The young people of Scotland deserve spaces like this, and the church in Scotland is richer for having organisations like SU Scotland that invest so faithfully in their spiritual formation.
