Royal visit and WildLuing news
We had some new visitors to the island last week. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were on their Inner Hebrides tour which included Luing and its neighbouring Slate island of Easdale.
They took the passenger ferry across to Luing to be met by locals before heading up to meet our farm team and famous Luing Cattle. It was a sunny, hot day and was a good opportunity for the farm team to talk about the Luing cattle and the farm which is managed across the island.
After visiting the cattle they popped down to WildLuing to chat and have an informal tour with Jack and Emily of the site. Baby Saskia kept an important eye on the days happenings while demolishing a tasty apple and have a photo shoot with the Duchess!
Later the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh visited the Islands Atlantic Centre for tea, cake and a chat with local residents.
Was great to be able to show what Luing has to offer.
