Can you help? Interviewees needed for a research project on the Flow Country

[FlowCountry]

Hello everyone,

We are looking to interview a diverse range of people from community councils, tourism/hospitality, local businesses, farms etc. We are interested in what you think about the peatlands, whether you have a cultural or historical connection, and your thoughts on their future.

We will be travelling up between the 22nd and 27th of May (next week!) and can travel to meet anywhere convenient to you. The interview would take maximum one hour.

Thank you for your help!
Isabella & Nora

Would you be bringing chocolate, do you think?

As a non Caithnessian, I won't meet your criteria for interviewing, but if its of interest, my own thoughts on peatland are that there is much too much focus on preservation. As a fuel, peat is a worthy one. But we are rapidly approaching a point where its commercial extraction will be banned. Then, rather than extract and use a fuel locally, we'll be pumping gas thousands of miles from Russia and coal from Poland. Folk say that peat grows at something like 1mm a year - Well, its still growing faster than its being cut on the hill here. But yet, thats too fast for some.

Who are you?

[crayola]

They are Isabella and Nora. They’ve already told us.

But they didn’t tell us how much they will pay for an hour of our time.

If there's chocolate, I'll tell them all I know

And I thought I was cheap!

Fine white wine does not come cheap unfortunately. Especially now that Wee Krankie has upped the price of it unfortunately.
