As the HIE network is asked and answers Freedom of Information-related questions, where practical, we will publish these questions and our answers here.

Can I access information relating to the funding package for the Cairngorm Funicular Railway, set up costs and projections for the project, all correspondence between HIE and the Scottish Executive, HIE and the First Minister and HIE and Peter Peacock (Highland Council)?

In response to this request, HIE has disclosed information relevant to the application procedure together with the specific correspondence requested.
