An urgent plea has gone out for a safe and secure psychiatric facility to be created in Caithness to cope with the area's growing mental health crisis.
Campaign group No More Lost Souls maintains that mental health is a bigger problem in the county than Covid-19, based on the number of suicides. Its members are seeking to reduce the stigma surrounding the subject.
