“About bloody time”, say commentators
Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Highland Council, Inverness College and UHI Millennium Falcon plus various others including Davy the Ghost and a dolphin from the Moray Firth, today announced the next stage in the long-awaited new university campus for Inverness.
News released today show that planning firms have been approached to draw up plans, and it is now confidently expected that the campus - due to be 150 miles east of Nairn - could be completed as early as the year 2075, around the same time that UHI is finally due to achieve University Title.
The newly-streamlined development agency declared the move the most important moment in the history of the Highlands since the Clearances, and a spokesman for UHI expressed his relief that “the biggest college in UHI will now no longer be a sixties concrete shithole on an industrial estate. Maybe people will now actually want to come and study with us.”
Meanwhile, Highland Council denied rumours that arguments had already broken out about the use of Gaelic signage on the campus.
