I know our shop staff and volunteers are working hard to ensure the supply chain to the island continues to function. But I am sure @juradevelopment would echo this call for support for remote rural shops.

Our community shop is having major issues sourcing basics such as bread and milk and we are the only shop in our rural community. Our wholesaler say they can't help. The supermarkets won't sell directly to us. Is this something @scotgov or @argyllandbute could help with?

"Collectively, Scotlandās islands pay their way handsomely...
All that offers a great creative opportunity for government to address islandsā challenges and recognise the vast disparities within them."

This is the beautiful West Coast of Jura. The area we are trying to protect from industrial fish farms, to keep the wilderness and widlife protected and hopefully the animals as free as much as possible from industrial plastic tape. In the meantime, enjoy the view.

Funding from @CyclingUKScot allowed us to run Bike Repair sessions with Jura Cycles. As ever, it was as much about the getting together fur a blether as it was about learning some practical skills. Next on the agenda, a community cycle to Islay!

Was at an event hosted by @HIEScotland & @argyllandbute on Monday that was looking at Housing and its role in supporting economic development. Homes & employment go hand in hand in contributing to sustainable communities throughout rural and island Scotland.

āI think climate change is a very important problem to tackle because itās ALL of our futures. Not only our futures but also all of the species on the earth - plants, animals and us. I think we owe it to every single species on earth to fix this climate crisisā - Elisa (10yo)
