Please Help Save Whin Park!

Proposals have been tabled to extend the existing Distributor Road to link up with the Fort William A82 Road.

There are 5 options, all of which involve the total or partial destruction of Whin Park and the adjacent rugby pitches.

Please sign the PETITION calling on the Highland Council to save the Whin Park and to find an alternative route for its distributor road completion.

For more information on these proposals check out the WEST LINK ROAD PROPOSAL WEBITE and submit your views to the Highland Council by Friday. The action group is working very hard to find a sensible alternative to the Highland Council’s ill conceived plans to carve up Whin Park and surrounding amenities with their proposed west-link to the distributor road. Please send this website on to all your contacts in Inverness.

Barclays Scottish Open 2011 – Castle Stuart

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

Barclays Scottish Open 2011 will be hosted by Castle Stuart located between Inverness and Nairn from 7 – 10 July 2011. The Scottish Open is part of the European Golf Tour and is the warm up event for the British Open.

This is an incredible coup for Castle Stuart and is good news from Inverness and the Scottish Highlands as the event will bring 1000′s of additional visitors to the area.

The Scottish Open has been held at Loch Lomond for the past 15 years but Castle Stuart will now join the list of other hosts since 1972 – Downfield, St Andrews, Haggs Castle, Gleneagles and Carnoustie.

Inverness and the Highlands in general are always very poplar in the summer months so accommodation will need to be booked straight away as demand will be far higher than can be supplied locally. Please visit our website for more Barclays Scottish Open 2011 information.
