I’m Fiona and I live in Lochaber in the Scottish Highlands. I love the sense of community in Fort William and surrounding areas. This has been really evident in the last few months, as local organisations and volunteers take on board the challenges that Covid-19 has brought us. The stunning scenery and beautiful lochs are […]

I’m Grant and I live on the Isle of Harris I’m a Development Officer, as well as a scallop diver and fisheries consultant. I also own a food van. Since lockdown began I largely feel the same.

I’m Rhoda, and I work as a Digital Consultant and crofter on the Isle of Tiree. One of my favourite things about Tiree is our 360 degree views of sky – the huge horizons, it’s so easy to breathe deeply. Since COVID-19 lockdown began, day to day life on a practical level hasn’t changed much, […]

I’m Drew and I’m a statistical analyst for Generation Scotland A lot has changed since the COVID-19 lockdown. I can’t go to the office, I can’t go to the gym or the pool, and I can’t go see a movie, or to the pub, or to a museum. For a long time we also avoided […]

I’m Louise and I’m the Research Support Officer for Generation Scotland. Lockdown has changed my day to day life a lot. Some changes are great, I have had a lot less commuting to do. My normal day includes a 90 minute commute each way on public transport, so it’s been really nice to get up […]
