Communities across Caithness and the Highlands will see new creative activity this year having secured funding through Creative Scotland. 57 arts projects have received support in the latest National Lottery Open Fund round. 'The Musical Trail of Caithness' will create a permanent sound experience along the John O'Groats Trail, with 12 pieces of music and spoken word inspired by the local landscape. The project includes intergenerational workshops and a digital postcard with links to recordings. Other projects include 'K2TOG - Exploring multi-culturalism', a textile art project blending Chinese and Scottish design traditions, and 'Storm', a storytelling and music performance inspired by Wick's former ship-to-shore radio station. The Open Fund awards were made to artists and creative practitioners across Scotland in March 2026.
