It's just passed 7000 signatures now. I have to declare an interest here, as I started as a tutor at Plockton last September. I know from first-hand experience the amount of hard work and dedication put into this project by all the staff, tutors and especially the students themselves. Scottish traditional music is a pretty resilient beast, and will survive whatever happens, but to close this unique facility would be a hugely retrograde step, in my opinion. Please sign the petition, and hopefully Highland Council will reconsider.
Thanks to all who have signed already - we appreciate your support.
