WATCH: Loch Duart Salmon celebrate north-west links in series of new films
SALMON farming company, Loch Duart, has launched the first in a series of films which celebrates its links to the north-west and the values upon which the company was founded.
In the short film, viewers get a glimpse of the farm teams who live and work in the communities of the Outer Hebrides where they raise their world-renowned salmon.
The firm say the film's title – ‘Born and Raised’ – is a reference to both the people who have lived and worked in the Hebrides for generations and to the company's "unique lineage of salmon" which can be traced back to the wild salmon which have been swimming in Scottish waters for millennia.
The film follows assistant site manager Ruairidh Macleod, who explains just how Loch Duart salmon is linked to the local community and to the environment in which he lives and works.
Among the local projects to have benefited from Loch Duart's community fund are North Uist United football club and Uist Coastal rowing club.
In the film, Mr Macleod says: “I am born and raised here in the Outer Hebrides. Loch Duart has given me the opportunity to live and work in the place that I love. We have a deep connection to our community and our islands wherever we go in the world.
“We say here, ‘there’s the easy way, then there’s the Loch Duart way,’ doing the right things for the right reasons. It’s how we’ve always worked and it’s how we always will. We put the welfare of our people, our salmon and our environment first, every time.”
