SCF Annual Gathering  - 2007 

A varied, unusual and interesting programme was put together for this year’s Scottish Crofting Foundation Conference. The conference took place on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th September at the Ross County Football Stadium, Dingwall. The theme of the gathering was "crofting culture".

As well as a varied panel of speakers and the annual dinner, a feature this year was the first Angus MacRae Memorial Debate where two well-known personalities debated the motion that ‘The regulation of crofting no longer serves a useful purpose’.  Speakers at the Gathering included Professor Mark Shucksmith, Neil Mitchison, Mike Russell and Margaret Bennett.

Also at the conference the four Highland and Island schools involved in the Planting to Plate crofting project - Whalsay, Farr, Sgoil nan Loch and Kilchoan - gave a presentation on their year’s activities.
