JOIN US FOR THE LAUNCH OF LEY LINES REPORT! Since 2020, SCAN has mapped, connected with, and listened deeply to the creative community across the Highlands. This work has laid the foundations for&nbsp;<a fr-original-style="" href="https://sca-net.org/project/ley-lines/" id="isPasted" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Ley Lines</a>, a new project developed in 2025 specifically for the region. We&rsquo;re delighted to announce that the first stage of&nbsp;Ley Lines will launch this November: a comprehensive report designed to establish a baseline for the Highlands&rsquo; creative landscape. Our report sets out the context of the Highlands, mapping current activity and identifying gaps in support. Extensive research is supported by individual and organisational case studies examining how artist-led groups connect across geographic distances, the role of tourism, and how collaborative approaches are balancing community engagement with wider visibility. There will be refreshments, music and celebration! You will also be able to take away a specially designed print version of the report, designed by Mark Faulkner and printed by the Isle of Riso. Travel Bursaries Available SCAN have a number of travel bursaries available for those who would otherwise not be able to attend the Ley Lines Launch event in Inverness.&nbsp; To apply, please&nbsp;<a fr-original-style="" href="https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=CGcdCEsUG0-biPkGM5WKmyBjyDemA9NPmwAtawRAhhNUMTlWUzhJTFQ1TTdSM1dQSVFURkZDN1dRNi4u" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">fill out this form</a> and details of your travel costs by 5pm, Monday 16 November.
