What's it all about?

PEOPLE are coming together, taking positive, practical steps to create a more resilient Black Isle. Strong, vibrant communities will find themselves fit to live well in the future.

Two challenges will shape our future. Peak oil and climate change will make the complex, energy- intensive lifestyle we are used to today impossible.

Coming together to enable us to thrive in a low carbon society is what Transition is all about.

Formed in 2009, Transition Black Isle has active members in communities across the peninsula - click here for more details.

People are learning to grow delicious food. Community gardens have been established at Loch na Mhoid near Muir of Ord and at Culbokie 

We're always on the look out for volunteers and fresh ideas.
