So what we did was we did some due diligence on it.

We had a look at a few different areas across the Highlands where there appears to be, you know, a good pocket of numbers, for example, in Nairn and Dingwall.

And what we did was we held a couple of taster sessions with our partners, Highland Blindcraft and the Macchio Society.

And the numbers appeared to be pretty interesting.

And they were looking to, you know, maybe get out of the house, you know, come along to a safe environment, sit down, have a cup of tea and maybe a cookie or a biscuit and just get to chat to like-minded people, find out, you know, what's going on in their lives, you know, tips, tricks.

what services were available to them in the community, what services that we provide, what accessibility products are available, technology, etc.

we decided to go ahead and start to create two new groups in Dingwall and Nairn.

And this is one of the reasons why we're on here today, to bring you news of that.

Local tradition says Macbeth, the 11th century king, was born here.

In the summer of 1940, after Dunkirk, the army requisitioned it as a hospital for the wounded.

In the great hall where the Green Lady's portrait now hangs was a ward.

In 1957, the local education authority bought it, and for about 20 years it was a boarding hostel for teenagers from the West Coast attending Dingwall Academy.

You gonna, you gonna hook it up, uh, to a train and take the tunnel?
