Verb Wellington and Moniack Mhor received over 75 applications for the inaugural Island to Island residency exchange, offered in collaboration with British Council New Zealand and the Pacific, and Edinburgh International Book Festival.

“The calibre of applications was incredibly high,” says Verb founder Claire Mabey. “It’s a sign of how needed residencies are: that time to write and refresh is crucial for good art.”

Documenting Scotland’s Historic Environment

Building recording is an essential component of heritage management. The primary purpose of this is to establish an accurate record of a building as the starting point for key decisions around repair and maintenance. This accurate record, typically in 3D, allows evaluation or monitoring of a structure’s condition, establishing the need for interventions to repair, conserve, restore or maintain the fabric.

Aviemore and Glenmore Community Trust (AGCT) is to take over the Glenmore Visitor Centre and Car Park after a successful application to Forestry and Land Scotland’s (FLS) Community Asset Transfer Scheme (CATS). 

The scheme empowers community organisations to ask to take over publicly owned land or buildings that they feel they can make better use of for local people.
