Please note that we do not hold financial data or business critical information within this area and it is very tedious to have to clean up the mess left by hackers.

If you want to know what we mean by "walking-the-talk", here's a flavour of the range of projects we have undertaken.
Path Attributes Research
We were commissioned to undertake research on 'Path Attributes'. The purpose of the research was to improve the way that paths are described and we developed a coherent framework for describing any path.
Scottish Community Land Network
Community ownership of land in Scotland is a big issue, and one that is getting tougher to achieve and maintain in the current economic maelstrom. Small rural communities can find it difficult to gain access to all the information they need without getting overwhelmed by the tide of news and comment. That's where the Scottish Community Land Network comes in...
Farming and the environment
Walking-the-Talk was contracted by Scottish Natural Heritage to deliver a series of awareness-raising events and advisory visits for farmers in the Savoch burn / Loch of Strathbeg catchment area near Fraserburgh.
Arran Paths and Tracks Feasibility Study
We were commissioned to undertake field survey of upland and lowland paths across Arran and develop proposals for future funding.
Mountain woodlands - best practice handbook
We were contracted by the Action for Mountain Woodlands group to write the text for a new best-practice handbook on managing mountain woodlands.
Paths and climate change
We were contracted by Scottish Natural Heritage to look at the likely impacts of climate change on the planning and management of paths in Scotland. As part of this drew on the experiences of path managers throughout Scotland when dealing with the impacts of unusual weather conditions, and explored the relevance of these impacts to future climate change.
Windyhills community woodlands management plan
We were contracted by the Woodhead and Windyhills Community Trust to produce a management plan for 2010 - 2015 for the Windyhills community woodlands.
Inchailloch Visitor Management Overview
We prepared a visitor management overview for the Park Authority to enable them to better manage and communicate with visitors on Inchcailloch Island. The island forms part of the Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve.
Visitor impacts on the Loch Lomond islands
Loch Lomond is world famous for its bonnie, bonnie banks, but it is becoming increasingly infamous for the impacts of recreation on the ecology of its protected species and habitats.
Barriers to Participation
We were contracted by Perth and Kinross Council (in partnership with sportscotland and Scottish Natural Heritage) to investigate the barriers to participation in 'active outdoor recreation' within Perth and Kinross.
