Highland Weather & Climate Story Map

The Highland Weather and Climate Story Map collects your experiences related to weather and climate in the Scottish Highlands. It documents how weather and climate impact our daily lives, livelihoods, and the environment. This is the human side of climate data.

These stories will stay available for residents of the Highland region to track how our home is changing over time. They will also be incorporated into the first Highland Climate Risk and Opportunity Assessment, which will help to identify the priorities for action to and adapt to the impacts of climate change across the region.

Brora Back Shore

The coast at Brora is experiencing increased stormy weather, leading to instability and erosion along the back shore. This is causing damage to the archaeological sites linked to the area's salt and coal industries. Thanks to the dedication and support of The SCAPE Trust, Clyne Heritage Society, and the Brora Salt Pans Research group, these vulnerable sites were excavated and the findings were preserved for future generations. Since 2009, The rate of current change has been the greatest recorded since the late 18th century. The Brora Salters help raise awareness of these issues at community salt-making events.
