Do you live in the Durness area? What do you love about living here? Come along and explore the Durness area “Sense of Place”. We are hosting an evening event at Durness Village Hall, on Thursday 28th August from 6pm-8pm.

A “Sense of Place” is what gives an area its identity and makes it different from elsewhere. We can use it to explain what makes an area special, to produce materials that help businesses and organisations explain their area to others. This can be used practically for writing business plans, funding bids, improving marketing and branding materials. But it also helps everyone to understand what they want for their area and community.

The new “Walker’s Guide to Durness” is an example of Sense of Place in action. The book brings together the best loved walks of the area to showcase where and how to get the best from exploring the routes. We are delighted that the book’s author, Dougie Cunningham, is able to come along to help us launch the book at this event.
