Support has been sought for new plans for a golf course at Coul Links in Sutherland.
The Scottish government rejected proposals for an 18-hole championship course in the area of coastal dunes last February.
A group called Communities For Coul has resurrected the idea of building a course, arguing that it would bring much-needed jobs.
Environmental campaigners say Coul Links should be protected.
Communities For Coul s proposals are separate from the previous plans for a course on the land at Embo near Dornoch.
