Holmehill Community Buyout was formed in January 2005 when Holmehill was put up for sale by Hilton Hotels, The community's campaign to ensure the appropriate development of the hill lasted from 2005 to 2018. In 2018, Holmehill was bought by a newly formed, local charitable trust. Given that the campaign had largely achieved its objectives, it ended in December 2018.

The campaign's website contained a great deal of information about Holmehill and the campaign. When the website was taken down, it was decided that the content should be preserved. So here it is.

Holmehill Community Buyout/Holmehill Ltd was formed in 2005 to buy Holmehill for community use, to ensure that the protection afforded to the hill was maintained and to ensure the hill’s sustainable development. http://www.holmehill.org/

Between 2006 and 2018, Holmehill was owned by Allanwater Developments who submitted 6 planning applications to develop the hill with housing or offices. All planning applications were resisted by the community who were supported by the planning authority, Stirlng Council.

In 2018, Holmehill was bought by a local charitable trust, the Carman Family Foundation. Early in 2019, Holmehill Community Buyout/ Holmehill Ltd was wound up - job done!
