Join us for a screening of the new film The Oil Machine on 15 November at 7.30pm in The Grant Arms, Grantown-on-Spey for an inspiring screening and conversation on our energy future.

The Oil Machine explores our economic, historical and emotional entanglement with fossil fuels by looking at the conflicting imperatives around North Sea oil & gas. This invisible machine at the core of our economy and society now faces an uncertain future as activists and investors demand change. Is this the end of oil?

The film brings together a wide range of voices from oil company executives, economists, young activists, oil workers, pension fund managers, and considers how this machine can be tamed, dismantled or repurposed.

It wasn’t so long ago that vibrant, wild forest stretched across much of Scotland. Beavers and cranes were at home in extensive wetlands. Salmon and trout filled the rivers. Lynx, wolf and wild boar stalked wooded glades. Today, although it’s easy to be seduced by the raw beauty of the landscape, Scotland has become one of the most ecologically depleted nations on Earth.
It doesn’t have to be this way. A bold vision for the future is slowly emerging where nature works, where wildlife flourishes and crucially, where people thrive. It’s called rewilding.
Using stunning imagery created by the SCOTLAND: The Big Picture photography team, this presentation showcases the country’s beauty and drama, but also poses an intriguing question: What should Scotland look like?

The talk will cover the history and work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission world wide and in Scotland, looking at the origins of CWGC, its principles, horticulture, architecture and archives, with a focus on some local stories.
