What's the difference between farming and crofting? How can a croft sustain a family in the 21st century? And what happens when you scratch a bull's back? 🐮 Listen to this episode about crofting in South Uist featuring DJ and Lindsay from Long Island Retreats to find out: https://www.wildforscotland.com/crofting-in-south-uist/ Spending a day with them to meet the sheep & cattle, watch wildlife in the machair, dig for fresh tatties and pat some Shetland ponies was a very wholesome experience - and I learnt so much. About crofting, about island life and about South Uist ❤️ I'm excited to share it with you! #WildForScotland
