Today, Jean, Alistair and Donald attended a day long "Stronger Scotland" event in Lairg. £15,000 of funding was available to projects in our area, with a maximum grant of £2,000 available for worthy projects. Participants were given a 2 minute slot to put forward their case for needing the money, and attendees voted on which project should receive funding. 41 applications were made, with a total value over four times the available funding.
I'm pleased to announce that Jeans application was successful, and £2,000 has been gained towards upgrading the toilets in the village hall.
Well done to all..

WSFT have published a poster regarding fishing on the local rivers, and the "catch and return" policies that have been implemented to help conserve fish stocks.
All fishermen/women are asked to study this, and follow the guidelines.
The poster can be found on the flyfishing page in the "Activities" tab.

A dull day with light periods of rain, so a good day to settle down and update some of these web pages. Really getting used to the software now (need to play with these things to get used to them!), so if you can suggest any changes that I can make, I'll try and do them!
I've added another "pop-up" to advertise the next village event, the NW Shinty 6's tournament, and Ceilidh after. I hope you can make it and have a great time.
I've also found a "statistical report" with shows the number of site views. Also available are the locations of the browsers, and type of device used. Around 60% of views are still on a normal computer, and tablets and mobile phones are equally spread with 20% views each. In the last month there have been over 1000 visitors to the site, and they average 3 page views each.
Two thirds of visitors are from the UK, and about 20% from the USA. There have been 6 visits from Germany, 5 from France, Spain and Italy. And there have also been visits from Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and Ghana! (plus more).
It just goes to prove that the internet is a major source of information for tourists to our wonderful area.
If you have decided to come to visit Scourie after researching on the web, I hope you enjoy yourself and have a great time.
