    Hello, it’s Will here, the presenter and producer of Highlands Reimagined.

    I’m pleased to share with you a great conversation that Fiona Mackenzie and I had on the Wild for Scotland podcast with host: Kathi Kamleitner.

    Kathi was interested to find out more from me about how the series was made and dig a little further into some of the topics that emerged from it.

    Fiona gave her perspective as Development Manager of Strathnaver Museum which commissioned the podcast series.

    I hope you enjoy the podcast and stay subscribed to the Highlands Reimagined feed for more bonus content in the future!

    Who holds the power to shape the future of Mackay Country?

    In this final episode, the students of Farr High School are determined to find out.

    They take their questions about land ownership and how it impacts all of the issues we’ve discussed so far directly to the Scottish Land Commission.

    They learn from an Irish island community’s inspiring story how high-speed broadband could create new tech jobs in Mackay Country.

    From debating wind farms to designing new ways for their voices to be heard, the students explore how their generation can take control and build a future from the ground up.

    Why do so many young people feel they have to leave the Scottish Highlands?

    Will Sadler’s first question when he visits Farr High School in Mackay Country isn’t what makes the students want to leave - but what makes them want to stay?

    He explores how romantic stereotypes of a wild, empty landscape clash with the young people’s lived reality that places people at the very centre of their experience.

    He’ll find out how traumatic historical events such as the Highland Clearances mean that the question of whether to leave or to stay is nothing new.

    He will discover why, despite the challenges of rural life, a strong sense of community and connection to place remains the most powerful reason for young people to call this beautiful part of the world their home.
