The UK Telecoms Industry has begun the process to migrate landline users to a digital service. BT Group has partnered with AbilityNet and Neighbourhood Watch Scotland to provide people in Scotland with the information they need to prepare for the switch.

To safely migrate all 7 million of its customers to Digital Voice, BT Group has invested significantly in an engagement campaign that aims to raise as much awareness as possible about the digital switchover with its customers across the UK. The BT engagement team are raising awareness regionally with newspaper and radio campaigns and by running a series of events through each region of the UK.

The roadshows are a platform where customers come along to find out more about digital voice and what it means for them and to answer any questions they may have and an opportunity to quash any myths out there.

Join AbilityNet to learn more about Digital Voice, why the change is taking place and what to expect when upgrading to Digital Voice. AbilityNet is a charity that supports older and disabled people.

After the success of our annual Christmas Fayre last year, we’re delighted to be hosting it again in 2025, this year Sunday, 7th December.

Each year as winter draws in around the Cairngorms, its mountains and forests turn into a magical winter wonderland. So what better place to host a cosy Christmas market than nestled amongst the Narnia-like pines at Badaguish?

We will have lots of stalls with a wide variety of gift ideas from local crafters and producers. From food & drink to Christmas homeware, something for everyone.

There will be hot food and drinks along with activities for the children before they meet Santa.

All the stallholders donate an item for our charity raffle, so lots of great prizes to be won on the day!
