PLANS for a new salmon farm off the Isle of Rum, which could create 10 new jobs, have been submitted to the Highland Council.
The site would be the latest in Marine Harvest Scotland’s series of open sea farms, following openings off Barra, the Isle of Muck and Colonsay since 2009.
The plans for Rum involve creating 10 jobs, including a farm manager and two assistant farm managers, with Marine Harvest building a three-bedroom manager’s house, two three-bedroom flats, a visitors’ annex and a shore base at Kinloch.
