Prince Charles has personally intervened to help protect the livelihoods of hundreds of farmers in some of Scotland’s most remote areas.

The Duke of Rothesay is spearheading a drive to safeguard the future of vital slaughterhouses on seven islands.

His backing is seen as key to the

long-term survivals of more than 2,000

businesses on Shetland, Orkney, Islay, Mull,

Lewis, Barra and North Uist.

The £150,000 “Sustaining island

abattoirs in Scotland” project will

offer mentoring support and back-up

in the shape of funding and marketing

help for abattoir operators.
