Video Conferencing Facilities in Sutherland

Did you know that the Learning Centre network now has state of the art video-conferencing facilities? The equipment is available for rental to public, third sector and private sector contacts, and to visitors to the area.

VC units are installed in learning centres in Lochinver, Lairg, Brora, Grantown on Spey and Kingussie, but invitations may be made to any computer, equipped with a camera and microphone, so one should be able to join in from any desk in a quiet office.

If you would like to take advantage of this equipment for meetings and to reduce travel costs (bearing in mind that diesel is commonly £1.50/litre in this area) please email:

Assynt: Jane Young
Brora Learning Centre: Kelly MacKay

Lairg Learning Centre: Cara Cameron

The system is already used by participants on the Learn 2 Be Enterprising programme and has the potential to offer high quality training and networking opportunities across our area and beyond.
