The Community Sauna Project is an art project led by Malcolm Mackenzie. The sauna was built by Malcolm Mackenzie and Willie Threlfall of Crannog Designs Skye in Winter 24/25, supported by ATLAS Arts. The project creates a new space for the residents of Lochalsh, Skye, Raasay and Wester Ross, and offers a place for conversation, inviting users to reflect on and ask questions about the communities they live in.
The Community Sauna was located in Plockton from Feb 2025 – June 2025.
As a member of the community you are invited to make use of the sauna as part of the project on a pay-what-you-can basis. Any donations received will go to the continued running of the sauna project, and a proportion of donations will go to local causes. If you are visiting friends or family in the area, or here on holiday, you are also welcome to make use of the sauna as part of the project. Priority will be given to advanced bookings for local residents, and visitors can book on the day, if any slots are available. Please get in touch to enquire about availability. Booking is available for two weeks ahead.
This project is part funded by the Culture Collective legacy fund, and only made possible through top up donations and the generous support of Russwood Timber – Newtonmore and Jewsons – Broadford.
