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.

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.

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.

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.

A few people using this to put the boot into the UK Gov.

Fuel poverty is devolved to Scottish Government, with three out of four drivers of fuel poverty largely devolved, and one reserved, albeit with usual caveats around funding allocation.

@thecommongreen 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.

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

We are honoured to learn that our Championship Course has risen to 2nd in the Golf Digest 'World's 100 Greatest Golf Courses' biennial rankings. A heartfelt thanks to our incredible team for their hard work and dedication in achieving and maintaining such high standards.

This is a brilliant way to display seats and I'm shocked it's never been done before.

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