Good for Crofting - Traditional Crofting in South Uist


Listen Later

'Good for Crofting' is a story about living with and off the land. Crofting is an integral part of Scottish culture in the Highlands and Islands, and on a crofting tour with DJ Cameron in South Uist, you can learn more about it. We learn what distinguishes crofting from farming, talk about sustainable crofting techniques and get a glimpse of the unique relationship between a crofter and his land and animals.

DJ takes us to the machair to meet his sheep and cattle, shares about the challenges he faces throughout the year and the joys he gains from crofting. We also hear from his wife Lindsay, who is fully on board sharing their island way of life with visitors to the Outer Hebrides.
