Scotland imports 70% of its fruit & veg, which has a huge carbon footprint.
Not only vital for the 80 people employed (& the further jobs it can create in the future), it’s vital for Scotland’s food security that this work continues @MairiGougeon

Don’t normally take photos in toilets, but always pleased whenever I see one of these @EuansGuide explainers to ensure the red cord isn’t tied up, like here at @LocavoreCIC sooside. Plus, some excellent food!
ALT A photo in the bathroom at Locavore showing the explanation card from the excellent Euan’s Guide showing that the red emergency cord in bathrooms should never be tied up and should hang freely to the floor, so that anyone who may need it can reach it.
