I was distraught when the original planning application for Coul Links was turned down and considered at the time that a generation of youngsters were being denied the opportunities that would have derived from this critical investment in the Dornoch Firth area.

The project had almost universal local support and the arguments are better presented on your excellent website than I could ever put.

I find the environment and ecological arguments particularly persuasive, which is ironic since it was the intervention from a remote environmental lobby that appeared to scupper the original proposal.

I wish you every success in your endeavours to develop and protect Coul Links for generations to come.  I am sure that you will have the full support of the local community.
