The Highlands and Islands area group covers four local authority areas: Highland, Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands and the Western Isles.

The Single Outcome Agreement for the Highlands, first launched in August 2008, requires the partners to work more closely to produce an area profile for Highland, highlighting needs and issues and delivering against the 15 outcomes in the agreement.

We work in collaboration with HIE and other public agencies to make sure we are better placed to meet the strategic priorities of the Scottish Government and in turn better serve communities and businesses across the Highlands and Islands.

We aim to create sustainable communities with more balanced population growth and economic development across the region and to build a fairer and healthier Highlands and Islands.
