During August 2021, Go Golspie were successful in receiving funding which allowed us to advertise for and recruit a development manager. We would like to thank all applicants and following interview, we have selected Catherine Moodie as the successful applicant.

A total of 8 tours were completed in the lead up to Christmas taking 32 passengers for days out. These tours were supported by funding from Foundation Scotland and Café stops included The River Bothy at Berriedale, The Pier, Lairg, The Carnegie Hall Café, Portmahomack and The Platform 1864 in Tain.

The Fish and chip deliveries have continued throughout the winter months, we had hoped to cap this at 30 orders each week but owing to Richard and Peter being a pair of softies who cant say No, we are now at 42 deliveries and this number appears to increase every week.

Go Golspie are delighted with all the funding we have received to pursue our projects and we would like to say a huge thankyou to our various funders, however we are concerned about our core responsibilities as we move out of lockdown.

GG have been awarded funding from HIE to develop a new website to highlight the village and the surrounding area. We are really excited about this project and we are sure that it will show the area to its best advantage.

GG tourism sub group have been working hard on this since the beginning of the year and we are delighted that orders have now been placed and the signs for the village are green and gold and the outlying signs for the nature reserve are blue, look out for them in the coming months.

The Golspie 2030 Tourism Strategy was commissioned by Highlands & Islands Enterprise (HIE), with its objective being to enable; “Go Golspie Development Trust and the wider community of Golspie to strategically plan tourism development in the village.”
