SUMMARY:James Attwood Memorial Lecture\, 13 November 2024: What is the 'Highland Problem' of 2024?
DESCRIPTION:6.45 pm for Teas/Coffee. Main event 7.10 pm \nSixty years ago the Highlander was the ‘man on Scotland’s conscience’. Then the solution to the Highland Problem was to induce the movement of labour out of\, and not the movement of capital into\, the region. Today\, there is forecast £110 bn of investment over the next thirty years\, the Highland Problem looks somewhat different. \nToday’s communities struggle to recruit and retain key workers and services. Long established sectors restrict growth because they can’t recruit. The renewables sector\, critical to Scotland’s future economic fortunes\, could bring thousands of highly skilled long-term jobs and workers to the Highlands and Islands. But\, has nowhere to house them. \nIf we want our communities to benefit from this massive transformation\, we must ensure new people come\, and these new people bring their families and stay. So how do we make sure we build the right houses\, in the right places\, in the right timescales? \nThe Speaker \nAilsa Raeburn is Chair Community Land Scotland\, the national organisation that speaks on behalf of and advocates for community landownership and land reform. She also sits on the Boards of Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Crown Estate Scotland. \nAilsa is passionate about supporting communities to become more resilient and sustainable through the ownership of local land\, buildings and natural resources. This includes access to affordable and accessible housing for families and working age people which in many parts of the Highlands and Islands is severely constraining economic and community growth.

SUMMARY:Marine Spatial Challenge CPD Event 2019
DESCRIPTION:Scotland is forward thinking and fast moving when it comes to Marine Spatial Planning\, recognising the need for implementation as well has being home to many experts in environmental based management. The MSP Challenge board game is a tool which has been used in several MSP stakeholder engagement activities in recent years. It is a table top strategy game. Workshops can be developed based on the needs of a specific project and realities of a particular sea basin. The game is very easy to understand and has mostly been used as a low technology  approach to raise awareness about MSP. \nThis event will give planners the opportunity to engage in and be familiarised with the process of Marine Spatial Planning as well as learn about the different efforts\, Acts/Bills\, projects and progress happening all over Scotland. Discussing the 11 Marine Regions and what this means for planners will proved a platform for communication with experts and practitioners that will hopefully be sustained after the event.

SUMMARY:ICE-Dochfour Weir Repairs & Smart Canals
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Ross\,  Project Manager for the Dochfour Weir Project\nPeter Robinson\, Head of Engineering\, Scottish Canals\nThis talk will address the recent refurbishment of the historic Dochfour Weir constructed by Thomas Telford between 1825 and 1830 and will also present on the future of smart canals. \nOver the course of the eight month project\, engineers utilised more than 1\,000 tonnes of rock to construct a temporary access road; a helicopter to install a temporary ‘fish pass’ to retain the link between the River Ness and the mouth of Loch Dochfour; and over 800 tonnes of steel to reinforce the weir. The steel driven into the banks of the weir  will ensure the vital historic structure endures for another hundred years. \n
