Title: Hello all, Cornwall farm hand who's moved to Scotland to start a small holding.
Post by: AgriMax on November 15, 2018, 10:48:22 am
Hey,

I'm Max, I've worked on farms for many years and have a decent amount of knowledge for agriculture  (well in my opinion anyway  :P)

I've recently moved to Scotland with a friend to start a small holding and looking for some local contacts. Are land is based near Aberdeen.

Hope to make some good friends here. :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum Max. I'm in the next county across from you, Morayshire.
Not got asmuch experience as you it seems but everyone is friendly here and willing to help you with information.

Hope all goes well for you and your friend and look forward to seeing how you get on.  :wave:

A :wave: from the other end - welcome to the forum AgriMax and good luck. 
I do trust though that the kilt you're wearing is Cornish tartan!   :D

The summers can be decidedly dodgy too  :roflanim:

Wishing you all the very best.  I moved up to the very north of England (north of Hadrian’s Wall) from Exmoor, stuck it for ten years, and two years ago moved back to North Cornwall.  In all those ten years, I never stopped missing summer. :/   But I think your weather on the east coast will be significantly better than I had in Cumbria - and although I’m loving having summers again now, I do miss the long loooooong summer evenings <3
