Acknowledgements

The authors of this report would like to thank all those who generously gave their time to participate in this evaluation – including staff from island local authorities, Investment Panel members, staff from the Scottish Futures Trust, and representatives of other stakeholder organisations.

We would also like to say a big thank you to the representatives of island community organisations – many of whom were volunteers – who shared their experiences of the Islands Programme with us.

Thank you, also, to the Scottish Futures Trust for making available a range of reports and other documentary evidence which provided the basis of our documentary review and for taking the time to answer our questions. Finally, we would like to thank the Scottish Government Islands Team for their support and assistance in this evaluation.
