This is
a joint project with Western isles, Skye & Lochalsh.
The aim of the project was to hold a conference
on the Isle of Mull in early 2007 bringing
together approximately 100 key representatives
from island communities, agencies and local
and national government to discuss, review
and agree the formation of a permanent and
inclusive body representing the interests
of all Scottish Islands. The conference would
include presentations from other established
island networks, which may include the Global
Islands Network, the Irish Islands Federation,
the Swedish National Archipelago Association
and the European Small Islands Network.
1. Publicise the interests of island communities within governmental and policy-making bodies.
2. Promote equality of opportunity and seek to raise awareness of the permanent geographical handicaps that affect island communities.
3. Promote better links between local authorities and government agencies with responsibilities for islands.
4. Promote better links between community and voluntary organisations and businesses on Scottish islands.
