August 2005 Feature: Highland 2007

2007 might seem a long way away at this point, but the intervening months will fly past quickly enough. We decided to invite 30 or so of the established providers of arts and culture in the Highlands to give us their views on Highland 2007. Around half of that number responded (with an additional handful of apologies), and their views will provide food for thought as the event takes shape.
