Closing statements from the Coul Links Hearing went in yesterday, so now it's over to this lot to make the decision. SNP says, "we believe the best people to decide the future of our communities are those that live in them". WE AGREE! Comm Ballot: 69% Yes H Council: Yes SO...?

Wild that natural capital investments are moving in and going “yeh sorry you’re out a job but you can stay in your tied house until you find a new one, want to volunteer at the rewilding centre?” and the golf and aquaculture sectors are going “here’s your new house and croft”.

Interesting article in @heraldscotland today asks whether Coul Links' new housing plans could be the Highlands answer to New Lanark. #coullinks #coul4jobs #coul4houses heraldscotland.com/news/24338689.…

In the time taken to proposing to building these hubs, Caithness is forecasted to lose 8% of its population. More than half of school leavers in the area don’t want to stay, citing good access to healthcare as being needed to stay. That drives depopulation forecast to 18% by 2040

Client news: Plans unveiled for affordable homes and crofts in an area hard hit by depopulation if plans for an environmentally sensitive, world class golf course at Coul Links are given go ahead. Here's report @heraldscotland from @WilsonC75HT heraldscotland.com/news/24233558.…

Front page @PressandJournal today @ByJohnRoss @Jamie4North said: "Lack of affordable housing for young people & families is a key issue, so the plans for these new homes and crofts at Coul Farm are hugely welcome.” pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highla… #coullinks #coul4homes #STOPdepopulation

Article in @heraldscotland today, discussing how Coul Links would bring new, affordable houses & crofts. @Jamie4North: "when opportunities like privately funded & environmentally sensitive Coul Links project emerge, it would be perverse to block them." heraldscotland.com/news/24233558.…

Speaking during Scottish Golf Tourism Week, @ProsperScot 's Grant Campbell said they support Coul Links, as it will create a nationally important Golf cluster...with "investment into regeneration & repopulation of rural Sutherland communities.." #coul4jobs northern-times.co.uk/news/business-…

Thank you, @pressjournal @ByJohnRoss, for covering our support of @Communities4Co1 for a new golf course at Coul Links. Read it here 👉🏼 pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highla… #scottishgolftourismweek #coullinks #workingtogether #golf #tourism #scottishhighlands #sustainabletourism

Great to see @TourismHighland in the @PressandJournal backing Coul Links as part of Scottish Golf Tourism week. Stuart McColm, GM of Cabot Highlands & Highland Tourism director, said "the community vision for a new golf course at Coul Links needs to happen for the Highlands."

All we ask is for Scottish Ministers to respect local democracy - and accept The Highlands has very different issues to the Central Belt. #savecoullinks northern-times.co.uk/news/supporter…

Looks like local people don't like the Central Belt telling them what they should want... #localdemocracy #communitymatters

"For The Highlands to thrive, government needs to back off" - and that applies to Coul Links says Magnus Linklater on The Times today. #savecoullinks #coul4jobs #coul4environment thetimes.co.uk/article/for-sm….

A real humdinger of an article in today's Mail on Sunday. Thanks @FergusEwingSNP. #savecoullinks #coul4jobs mailplus.co.uk/scottish-editi…

Great interview with @FergusEwingSNP on BBC radio explaining why the cross-party group of Highland MSP's and MP's have come together to support our Coul Links Application. #savecoullinks #coul4jobs #coul4environment

I’ll be on @BBCRadioScot after 9 talking about our @heraldscotland series The New Highland Clearances - following the resignation of SNP councillor Karl Rosie who says party too focussed on Central Belt heraldscotland.com/news/24080027.…

Listen to @FergusEwingSNP put the cross-party Highland case for Coul Links on radio this morning. Go to 2hrs, 42mins, 50secs. #savecoullinks #coul4jobs #coul4environment bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
