HIE Caithness and Sutherland

 

The counties of Caithness and Sutherland at the far north of mainland Scotland encompass a vast and diverse area with many distinct communities. Here, there are hundreds of businesses, each with plans for the future, constraints and possibilities. There are almost 40,000 people with their own skills and potential and there are many highly committed voluntary and community groups. Together they make a powerful combination.

The task of HIE Caithness and Sutherland is to unlock that potential and help create a strong, diverse and sustainable economy where quality of life is matched by quality of opportunity.
