Beyond the postcard view, rural Scotland faces a depopulation crisis. In Mackay Country, in North West Sutherland, host Will Sadler joins local students to investigate why young people are leaving the region and what it will take for them to stay or return. Through conversations with people tasked to encourage resettlment, the Scottish Land Commission, local business owners and regional campaigns for community self-agency, the students discuss the pressing issues facing the Scottish Highlands today; whether housing shortages, insecure jobs, struggling schools and concentrated land ownership.   From the legacy of the Highland Clearances, to modern community-led action, discover the modern stories of resiliance and the fight for a sustinable future for this beautiful place. Highlands Reimagined is commissioned by https://www.strathnavermuseum.org.uk/ (Strathnaver Museum), produced byhttps://www.anyamedia.net/ ( Anya Media) and published in partnership with the https://www.wildforscotland.com/ (Wild for Scotland podcast.)

Episode 1 - Not Just a Pretty Place

Why do so many young people feel they have to leave the Scottish Highlands? Will Sadler’s first question when he visits Farr High School in Mackay Country isn’t what makes the students want to leave - but what makes them want to stay? He explores how romantic stereotypes of a wild, empty landscape clash with the young people’s lived reality that places people at the very centre of their experience. He’ll find out how traumatic historical events such as the Highland Clearances mean that the question of whether to leave or to stay is nothing new. He will discover why, despite the challenges of rural life, a strong sense of community and connection to place remains the most powerful reason for young people to call this beautiful part of the world their home.
