I've been doing the SCF courses here on North Uist - well, supposed to be but so far the 'Land Management' was cancelled due to lack of numbers, then the Pig Husbandry postponed due to illness, so far have only managed the Sheep Husbandry but it was well worth it
We have decided to leave the island though, after 11 years for various reasons, the main one being the 'locals' mentalities'. Very long story................................. I'll try to complete my courses though as they are good fun and I do intend to try to live my dream where-ever we end up.
Good luck with your course and enjoy!! Hope all goes much better for you on Skye than it has here for us on Uist.
