The company, with a processing base in Dingwall, is promoting the values upon which it says it was founded.
In the first film, viewers get a glimpse of Loch Duart’s farm teams who live and work in the communities of the Outer Hebrides.
The film’s title ‘Born and Raised’, is a reference to both the people who have lived and worked in the Hebrides for generations and to Loch Duart’s unique lineage of salmon which it says can be traced back to the wild salmon which have been swimming in Scottish waters for millennia.
The film follows assistant site manager Ruairidh Macleod, who explains how intrinsically linked Loch Duart salmon is to the local community and the environment in which he lives and works.
“We say here, ‘there’s the easy way, then there’s the Loch Duart way,’ doing the right things for the right reasons,” he said. You can view the film on the Loch Duart website.
It’s how we’ve always worked and it’s how we always will.
Part of a series of films, ‘Born and Raised’ highlights Loch Duart’s commitment to welfare and environmental standards and to the local communities across the Outer Hebrides and Sutherland where it farms. Loch Duart supports local projects through its Community Fund which recently helped North Uist United FC and Uist Coastal Rowing Club.
In the film Ruairidh Macleod, Assistant Site Manager at Loch Duart, says:
“I am born and raised here in the Outer Hebrides. Loch Duart has given me the opportunity to live and work in the place that I love. We have a deep connection to our community and our islands wherever we go in the world.
We put the welfare of our people, our salmon and our environment first, every time.”
A premium salmon with a global reputation which is chosen by top chefs, restaurants and foodies, Loch Duart goes above and beyond in how it rears its fish, from eggs through to mature salmon raised in the crystal-clear waters of North West Scotland. Loch Duart’s farm teams at sites from the Uists through to Sutherland are both proud and protective of the environment in which they work and consistently strive to raise the standards of Scottish salmon farming.
Loch Duart was the first salmon farm in the UK certified by the RSPCA Assurance scheme and is the only farm to have weekly, independent monitoring and auditing of its sites by West Sutherland Fisheries Trust.
