Cllr Maxine Smith says the new group will have a "peaceful, collaborative approach.â
Three former SNP members and Highland Councilâs only green councillor have banded together to form their own group within the council set to be called Highland Matters.
The four say they found common ground on issues like independence for Scotland, climate change and caring for their communities amid a parting shot at âuntenable divisionsâ within the SNP group.
