Even on a sunny day the rugged coastline of Caithness on the north-eastern tip of Scotland, feels as though it is on the edge of the world. The remoteness of this most northerly part of the British mainland was why, in 1955, the government sited an experimental nuclear reactor at Dounreay, a few miles from Thurso. Yet even though the reactor is being decommissioned and its 1,900 associated jobs are dwindling, locals are upbeat—unlike those in most of recession-hit Britain. There may be some lessons for other similarly remote areas of Europe where economic/industrial regeneration is an urgent priorty -like Brittany in France. Not for nothing is the western tip of Brittany also know locally as the "end of the world!".
