So well put Joe. Sad to see another similar account to H&I Voices also reach the end of the line.

Sin agad e. Mach a seo agus oidhche mhath!

Tìoraidh!

Good point. To those who want something like this account to continue, embody what you’re looking for in your own account! We all have the ability to put H&I in the very best light and shape its future, however hard that may be to do.

Celebrating these differences gives us confidence in who we are. Strong identities are important!

This account may be closing but we can all continue telling the stories of the Highlands & Islands to audiences here and across all platforms.

The story of this account is that I started it a long time ago but the credit really has to go to those who administered it for so long.

Please show your appreciation to Simon Varwell Katie Featherstone (Scotland/Iceland) & Dr Linda Ross

It would have been a much shorter experience without them

Simon Varwell H&I Voices It's a nice river to be fair, even has an ATM over it.

The replies to this, and replies to the tweet it QTs, are worth a read.

Absolutely fascinating to understand what the benefits to the region could be but interesting to speculate on the implications for rScot and rUK. From basic economics to social and environmental. Particularly interesting would be cultural impact for lowland Scotland.

Big ideas this week on the account!

My top 10 elections (most excited to follow) for 2024:

January: 🇹🇼
April-May: 🇮🇳
May: 🇬🇧 (locals & London)
May-June: 🇿🇦
Spring? Autumn? 🇬🇧 (general)
June: 🇪🇺
June: 🇲🇽
Autumn: 🇲🇩
November: 🇺🇸
December: 🇬🇭

All very sad. The last week of H&I Voices is underway, but who better to curate it than its founder Domhnall Macsween.

Sightseeing.

Tonight I’ll be concentrating on infrastructure in its many guises and how that impacts all aspects of island life. Expect to read more on ferries, mobile phone coverage, and electricity amongst others.

Not many weeks left before the wrap up, so if you want to take over, from tomorrow is your chance!
