Our social media accounts

The Highland Council uses X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Instagram, Bluesky and LinkedIn to keep people informed about the services that we provide, including the outcomes of committee meetings and other key events like election results. We may also use online blogs to ask for views and feedback on certain topics such as budget consultations.

Our social media sites are administered by Council staff and are generally monitored during normal office hours. They are not routinely monitored 24/7.

Do not use our social media accounts to report a service fault or to make a complaint. For help with services, to report a fault or make a complaint, visit the contact us homepage.

If you have concerns about a child, find out about who to contact.
