Hill and island community inquiry to be launched Print E-mail
Tuesday, 08 May 2007

The Royal Society of Edinburgh is to undertake a wide-ranging independent inquiry into the future of Scotland’s hill and island areas.

The aim of the investigation is to find ways to help secure a prosperous and environmentally sustainable future for these communities, which are often economically fragile.

Chaired by the economist Professor Gavin McCrone, the inquiry committee will make recommendations that seek to respond to threats posed by changes in agricultural support as a result of present and anticipated reform to the Common Agricultural Policy.

Through evidence-gathering and consultation, it aims to identify opportunities for local skills and natural resources to be harnessed.

The Committee will to report to the council of the Royal Society of Edinburgh by June 2008, when its findings will be published.
