Tongue in Sutherland may be joining the space industry
Not sure how I feel about the Highlands and Islands Enterprise trying to promote the Kyle of Tongue for launching rockets! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...lands-35438350
Maybe they would be better spending the money on encouraging small business development in the far north! But all the Star Trek trekkies on Caithness.org may disagree ....
