Kenneth Bone: Diversifying for a Thriving Island Community

Mary-Jane Lawrie is joined by Kenneth Bone from Glenkiln Farm on the Isle of Arran. Kenneth Bone farms Glenkiln Farm on the Isle of Arran with his family.  They won the Diversified Farm of the year award at last year’s Scottish Agriculture Awards, as well as taking home the Champion of Champions trophy.  The business has an impressive portfolio, from the farming business to hydro scheme, pub, equestrian centre and housing.  Kenneth tells us where it all began, and how the business diversified to be the success it is today. Thanks for joining us for this episode of Agri Culture. If you’d like to get in touch or find out more about the various projects on Arran that we mentioned you can find links in the show notes.  This episode was presented by me Mary-Jane Lawrie, produced by Kerry Hammond and edited by Cameron Waugh, in association with the Scottish Government.ResourcesGlenkiln Farm - Champion of Champions - AgriScot - Your Farm Business EventThe Drift Inn |Lamlash Isle Of ArranWelcome to VisitArranArran Trust | welcome to the beautiful island of arranRural and Islands Housing Funds - More homes - gov.scotFor more information, visit www.FAS.scotTwitter: @FASScotFacebook: @FASScotNational Advice HubPhone: 0300 323 0161Email: [email protected]
