Scran is taking a culinary tour around Scotland, chatting to a range of local legends about their businesses, produce and their community.
This week, I am on a socially distant tour of the Highlands chatting to various entrepreneurs about why their location is key to their business success and at the heart of their product.
My first guest Jamie Delap of family run business Fyne Ales. The business began in 2001 when his parents decided to turn their dwindling farm into a brewery after sampling craft ales down south and seeing a gap in the market for craft ales in the area.
Next up is Jill Clark of Highland Connage cheese, an award winning family owned organic cheese maker, which started 15 years ago on a farm at Ardersier.
Finally I speak to Keith Paterson, founder of Shore Seaweed. Based in Wick, they are growers, harvesters and processors of natural Scottish Seaweed.
This episode is produced in partnership with Scotland food and drink and we are almost at the end of this amazing campaign which sees Scotland's food industry celebrate local legends with regional producers showcasing their produce through their social media with the aim of encouraging people to source, buy and eat Scottish food and drink.
We’d love to hear from you in next week’s episode.
