Last year the Deputy First Minister (DFM) for Scotland committed to publishing a Rural Delivery Plan (RDP) by 2026, showing how all parts of the Scottish Government are delivering for rural Scotland.

The first businesses on Fair Isle have been connected to full fibre, almost two years ahead of schedule.

The subsea cable stretches 68 miles from the Shetland to Orkney Islands, with Fair Isle reached by a spur line. A post office and shop are among businesses which are already connected and all premises on the island can now order the service.

Young carers are being urged to get the financial support they are entitled to.  Social Security Scotland is encouraging eligible people to apply for the £359.65 Young Carer Grant.
