“I have no hesitation in supporting Duncan MacInnes. He has a wide ranging experience of involvement with, and intense interest in, those issues which impinge directly on the life of a Highlands and Islands community. He has also held senior positions in the environmental and tourism sectors and is now a free-lance consultant involved in an innovative approach to melding together his various areas of interest. His holistic approach to his work would make him an ideal candidate for this exchange programme.”
