I have holidayed in East Sutherland for 45 years, whilst working down south in marketing & general management. I now run a business outside Dornoch and would like to think of it as home. Through this period, I have observed how many young people move away when it’s time to start work, though it is evident to me that managed properly, this magical place has great untapped potential to build jobs and wealth through tourism. I am not a golfer, but I see Coul Links as a great way to start building the prosperity of the Dornoch Firth seaboard – and generating exciting opportunities for young people throughout the Highlands. If we let this go, this brilliant opportunity will be lost forever.
