2022 generation. There’s many ways of comparing numbers but overall picture for H&I is large amounts of power generated in the north now, especially per capita, shifting to incredible amounts of energy generated per capita in the future. Island via mainland importance increasing.

This is seriously disappointing. We know these are tough times financially, but this is not a good sign for land reform in Scotland.

With energy prices in the news today, and a particularly hot-topic in the energy-rich Highlands, this news story from Oban Times from 75 years ago is food for thought.

Dr Craig Dalȝell explains how scrapping the council tax for a property tax which extends to all land will redistribute wealth and power, and provide the basis for a wealth tax that can fund public services. Part 2 of scrapping the council tax 👇

This is good news and very interesting recognition for those living closely with peatlands. Another showcase of rural communities achieving positive changes to poorly thought out policy from the Edinburgh Parliament.

We are delighted to be the first golf club in the UK to have a Code Blue CPR defib case installed, with insulation keeping it safe to temperatures as low as -20. Inventor David Sullivan also put defibrillators on our buggies.

Wick, Caithness. The county produces 1300% of its electric demand from onshore wind. Wick has views of 2GW of offshore wind with another 2GW in planning. The 3 production platforms of the Beatrice oil field also visible. Home to 2 of the top 10% deprived data zones in Scotland.

Damning indictment of Scottish Government’s rural land strategy. Should government underwrite £12.5bn of extractive private sector investment whilst it has failing public sector finances and struggles to spend its own annual restoration budgets? Probably not.
