They’ve built up this network. If I went and spent the same money on Facebook, there’s no way I’d get the same return in terms of coverage, likes or comments, that the club can do. If you look at Nairn and how they’re structuring it, because they’ve got this reach into the community, you’re so much better forging a partnership with them, because you’ll get such a better return bang for your buck.” “People want to be associated not just with history but positive history. Everybody in America knows of Charlie Chaplin and Nairn is where he used to go on his holidays. “If you create the right financial model at this community club, you’re creating a club for the next 100 years, rather than waiting for a rich owner to prop up the club.” Another key reason why Caithness wants to be associated with this historic club is Nairn County's involvement in Mental Health, with the current main sponsor: Mikeysline. Mikeysline was founded in late 2015 after a tragic number of suicides in the Highland area. Mikeysline have been supporting those struggling with mental health issues across the Highlands ever since. Emily Stokes, service manager at Mikeysline, reports a three-fold increase in the number of people accessing their services since Covid. “Mental health and suicide is unfortunately way too prominent in the Highlands. The lockdown and the extra pressure, it has affected people of all ages,” she said.

Original from Scotland, Alastair Caithness, based out of San Diego is a recognized leader in the development of asset-backed, blockchain tokens. Caithness operates as a consultant for the Libertarian Party to develop a future economy based on digital assets through tokenizaton of the government's assets/substantial resources into a usable which will be distributed to all American citizens. This distribution will level the economic playing field for all Americans and will serve as a form of reparations and basic income for US citizens who have struggled to achieve economic liberty. Caithness monetary policy is referred to as 'Tokenized Asset Distributions' not 'Universal Basic Income', and his political art reflects his Bitcoin Libertarian viewpoint with the idea of developing a future crypto-based economy.
