on our way home from Ullapool on the bus on Saturday we had the pleasure of chatting to Euan McIlwraith from Landward.
Of course, didn't waste the opportunity to inform on what we are doing on the croft and local markets etc and he was very interested. We got on to the topic of the Scottish Crofting Federation's Produce Mark, you remember, the one we battled for months to get after and admin problem?
Anyway, Euan asked where he could get more info about it from so we told him to get in touch with the office in Lochalsh as I'm sure they would be only to happy to chat/promote what they are doing.
WRONG!!!!!!
We emailed the SCF to let them know about our chat with Euan and their response was......tell him to look at the website!!!
I am beyond livid, and that came from the CEO himself
we also asked for some time to catch up with the SCF at this years Black Isle show on Thursday but they have informed us that they won't have a stand there this year.
Whats going on? If we don't get some reasonable answers then we'll not be renewing our membership as they clearly don't appear to be working to promote crofting etc
