We care deeply about the environment we work in which is integral to rearing our extraordinary salmon, which is asked for by name and enjoyed around the world. The North of Scotland is synonymous with some of the best food and drink in Britain, so to be shortlisted for the \u2018Best Rural Food Award\u2019 in this competition is a fantastic endorsement for Loch Duart. We look forward to meeting other Highland businesses at the awards in October and celebrating our vital rural economy.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>Loch Duart was established in 1999 and is a significant employer in the remote communities of North West Scotland. Many of the staff work each day out at sea, rearing Loch Duart\u2019s extraordinary salmon. The Rural Business Awards acknowledge and celebrate the vital contributions made by companies to the development and success of the rural sector and way of life. Winners are decided by an independent panel of judges drawn from the rural business sector, official agencies and rural charitable organisations.<\/p>\n<p>North award winners, for which Loch Duart has been nominated as Rural Food Business, are announced at a regional awards ceremony on Tuesday 9th October 2018; winners from this go on to the 2018\/19 National Final held in February 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salmon farm aims to win award celebrating achievements of rural businesses Loch Duart, the independent salmon farming company based in Sutherland and the Hebrides, has been shortlisted in the Best Rural Food Award, North category for the Rural Business Awards.
