The Scottish Farm Land Trust aims to increase access to land for small-scale, ecological agriculture by purchasing land to be held in trust and rented fairly to new entrants and young people.

In April, we launched a survey to find out more about who is looking for land in Scotland. (It’s still open! See below).
We’ve been astounded by the response to the survey, with over 1,200 filling it in. We clearly have a large contingent of passionate and dedicated people who would like to farm in Scotland, but are held back by the inaccessibility of land and prohibitive costs of starting a farm. In June, we will be holding meetings around Scotland. These events will be an opportunity to find out more about the Scottish Farm Land Trust, inform the development of the organisation, and get involved if you would like to. The events will also be a chance to share more about your situation, and feed in to the Scottish Farm Land Trust’s report on access to land, small-scale farming, and supporting ecological agriculture in Scotland. Mon 19th June, Edinburgh: Quaker Meeting House, 6-8.30pm Sat 24th June, North-east: Tangleha, near St Cyrus, 2-4.30pm Mon 26th June, Inverness: Glachbeg on the Black Isle, 6-8.30pm Please get in touch with Bella - [email protected], 0131 2261497, if you are interested in attending, or if you cannot attend an event, but would like to be involved.

I really want to get part of this event and I am sure that it is the best place to have some quality time. The good thing is that I am always looking for these types of events to attend.

As a resident in the British Isles and possessing a Scottish ancestry at the same time, I have the sense of pride to my shared national identity. I'm interested to participate in these events prepared by my people. It satisfies my bodily senses, seeing a variety of all sorts, amplifying the Scottish identity in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Growing in the British fields has been an exquisite feeling. I will never forget the memories in Doncaster and Manchester.

If you are planning your wedding, you need to find a good catering company who will deliver quality service and exceptional food. Ask friends for recommendations, and make sure you schedule a few tastings before making any decisions.
