“The rowing club provides such a fantastic outlet for the islands’ communities, by bringing people together and giving locals access to the stunning coastal waters. It was our privilege to be able to support them,” Loch Duart said in a social media post.

Loch Duart employee David MacIver represented Loch Duart Salmon at the launch ceremony at Otternish slipway on North Uist.
