The Mackay Country Project

 

A start was made by creating a marketing project and a research project.  Through the marketing work marker stones have been erected at all the Dùthaich Mhic Aoidh gateways.  The aim is to build the Dùthaich Mhic Aoidh regional identity for visitors and for local folk too.  A big video project has been carried out.  This has involved taking video footage of key landscapes and events across Dùthaich Mhic Aoidh.  These will be edited to create short films of great local interest and material suitable for marketing the area to visitors.  The video work also creates important archive footage for the area. 

 

 

his work and the Back to the Future research project were carried out with the full support of the following community organisations:

 

  • North Sutherland Community Forum

  • Scourie Community Council

  • Kinlochbervie Community Council

  • Durness Community Council

  • Tongue Community Council
