- Project: Develop new allotments spaces in Alyth.
- Funding: Some raised already from a variety of sources; more to be raised if possible.
- Current status: Site preparation began in autumn 2025, and the plots were opened to growers in May 2026. There are 21 individual plots, plus five raised beds, two shared polytunnels and a communal shed.
- Next steps: complete letting of all plots and for a management group.
- Get involved: Join the volunteer working group to help determine best practice for managing the new allotments.
- Contact: allotments4alyth@alyth.online.
ADT is supporting a local working group in an allotments for all project for our town. Attracting support from funders who are only interested in allotments, the group is now developing detailed plans and recruiting town residents who would like to be involved in this exciting work – either to reserve a plot or be a volunteer — or both.
The group held a public consultation in 2023 to seek the community’s views, which identified part of the former golf course next to the Pitcrocknie housing development as the preferred option (click here to see all the potential sites that had been considered: https://lovealyth.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/A-Alyth-Allot-Locations-LOCATIONS-B-A3-scaled.jpg
Alyth is at the heart of a rich farming district, but has historically been relatively poorly provided with allotment space in the town for people to grow their own vegetables and other plants. Have a look at this map to see the current availability of allotments in Alyth. The working group follows an environmentally sensitive approach to growing, and the allotments will have a very minimal and positive effect on the land.

Here’s a selection of pictures, taken in March 2026, of the allotments taking shape:
