Merge proposal[edit]

Mais Oui has proposed merging Highlands and Islands Development Board into this article. Before going ahead with this I would like to know more about the change. Was it just a renaming or was there a change in philosophy or policy? If the continuity was very strong, a single article would deal with it best, but if the HIDB really was a distinct historical phase, it should have its own article. (Mind you, the HIDB article is only worth keeping if it is going to grow!) --Doric Loon (talk) 08:05, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was mostly a renaming, although the Enterprise group took over parts of Strathspey that the old one didn't have. --MacRusgail (talk) 13:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's also the Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) entry to consider Stumpfoot (talk) 05:38, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
