Sustainability at Scottish Planter Bungalow

Our commitment to the community & environment!

At Scottish Planter, we understand the importance of sustaining our environment and community for the betterment of tomorrow. With a firm focus on preserving our rich heritage and furthering our aspirations, we appreciate and encourage all those who continue to journey with us.

Our Philosophy

Inspired and encouraged by the dual sustainability pillars of being Environmentally Friendly and Socially Accountable, we at Scottish Planter continue to invest our time and resources in creating sustainable futures. As part of our vision, we remain committed towards a reduction of single-use plastics within our bungalow while ensuring that an increased number of employment opportunities are created for local communities.

Further, we have endeavored to preserve every section of the Bungalow so that future generations will be afforded an authentic experience of how life was celebrated during the times of the Scottish planters who resided in Sri Lanka.

Recently, our team at Amba Yaalu Kandalama came together for a meaningful Shramadana campaign, collecting 9kg of plastic, 10kg of polythene, and 15kg of glass bottles and cans. A few of those discarded cans found a second life, and they’re now bright little homes for some growing saplings!!
