Mike Cantlay, chairman of SNH, said: ‘The close links between nature and culture in the Highlands and islands are a huge draw for tourists across the globe.’
The search is on for 10 major new projects that showcase the outstanding local scenery, wildlife and culture of the Highlands and Islands.
The new Natural and Cultural Heritage Fund, led by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) will support projects that encourage visitors to experience more of the nature and culture of the Highlands and islands.
