Glenfarclas has had to temporarily pause production due to a lack of water in the area. A whisky distillery has strongly objected to proposals for a hydrogen plant that would need half a million litres of of water from a river each day to run. Storegga, a developer of “low carbon solutions”, lodged plans earlier this year to develop a hydrogen plant next to Marypark in Speyside, Moray.

A new rewilding charity has launched in Scotland with the aim of bringing people together to carry out nature-led projects across the Highlands. Affric Highlands said it sets out to “restore nature across more than 200,000 hectares of the central Highlands over the next 30 years”.

The study is the first of its kind mapping out the extent and losses of heather moorland in the UK. Vast swathes of heather habitat the size of Birmingham are being lost in Britain each year, according to new figures. The results were shared in a study that, for the first time, quantified the extent of the UK’s heather moorland habitat and its historical and potential losses. The figures show an estimated 60 per cent of moorland in Britain has been lost in the past 30 years.

The move to give away the business for free is to encourage a family to the island to help restore population numbers. A man who has spent the last few years building up a business on a west coast Scottish island has announced he will be giving it away for free. Richard Irvine, 65, runs the Colonsay Smokehouse on Colonsay - an island home to about 120 residents. The islander’s move to hand over the business for free is to encourage a family to move to the island and live in the location long term.

“This car will infuriate and amaze you at the same time,” I was told by a courtesy driver, who dropped off a Polestar 4 to me. Having only ever owned a 2007 Vauxhall Agila, which I bought for a few hundred pounds, this fresh-out-the-factory electric vehicle (EV), with a price tag of £60,000, made me feel a bit insecure as I stood next to it. I had never driven an EV before, but took up the opportunity when asked to test drive the car from Edinburgh to Torridon, on the west coast.
