00:00Welcome to Buckingham Palace. Thank you very much for coming.

00:04That is cool. That is amazing.

00:06Thank you very much.

00:10This is the blanket. This is the blanket.

00:12Great.

00:14Cool.

00:16Applause.

00:20Hello.

00:22This is for you.

00:24This is for you.

00:26Thank you.

00:28Thank you.

00:30It has gone fantastically well.

00:32We were hugely privileged

00:34for the King to turn up today

00:36and to unveil a plaque

00:38which marks the inscription

00:40of the World Heritage Site

00:42that we have now got, two of them

00:44in fact, in Sutherland.

00:46So very exciting.

00:48And lots of people here who have been part of this bid

00:50which has taken years in the making.

00:52It is not something that happens instantaneously.

00:54So all credit to all of them.

00:56I think he really enjoyed it.

00:58I mean he is very well informed

01:00about this subject.

01:02He was asking some really quite penetrating questions

01:04of the many scientists who are here today

01:06and they all enjoyed it.

01:08I think you got the equivalent of scientific banter

01:10at the highest level which was very special indeed.

01:12I think he really enjoyed the day as much as they did.

01:14It was great.

01:16He is a really interesting person to meet.

01:18He was very knowledgeable about everything that is going on

01:20in the Peatland Restoration and the World Heritage Site.

01:22Yeah, really interesting.

01:24He definitely knew a lot about peatland restoration.

01:26He was talking about the restoration techniques

01:28and the contractors

01:30and all those kind of things that are involved.

01:32So it was interesting to know that he knew

01:34so much in detail about it.

01:36I think it definitely shows

01:38what an impressive and unique landscape we live in

01:40and gives official credit to that.

01:42So that is really exciting to have

01:44and opens up different opportunities

01:46in terms of what that can bring to the area

01:48having World Heritage Site status

01:50and then particularly in the area

01:52that I work in, in peatland restoration

01:54when we are looking to blend public and

01:56private finance and selling

01:58carbon credits with the peatland code

02:00as a way to help scale peatland restoration

02:02in Caithness and Sutherland

02:04working with different landowners

02:06and trying to maximise the benefits of that locally

02:08having the World Heritage Site status

02:10could be more attractive to investors

02:12or buyers of carbon credits

02:14that we are hoping to raise that finance from.
