Businesses and communities across the North of Scotland have been urged to join forces to help bring jobs and economic growth to the area.
More than 140 people from the public and private sectors met at a conference in Thurso organised by Focus North - formerly known as the Caithness and North Sutherland Regeneration Partnership – to debate a three-year plan for the area focusing on economic growth, people and communities and sustainability.
The conference heard speakers from sectors including energy, space and hospitality discuss their future plans.
