AGRICULTURE and land use in areas such as Lochaber and the rest of the Highlands and Islands are unique in Scotland and the UK and must be supported as such, says a new report published this week.
The Scottish Crofting Federation (SCF) welcomed the report, which looks at post-Brexit implications for agriculture and associated land use in the Highlands and Islands.
At the launch, chairman of SCF Russell Smith said the report was an important piece of work that demonstrated unequivocally that Highlands and Islands agriculture and land use stand out as unique.
