Lord David honoured for work at Cassillis

Landowner Lord David Kennedy, 9th Marquess of Ailsa, works hard on his Cassillis Estate.

And he was delighted to be one of only eight Scottish farmers to be honoured this year for his ongoing commitment to wildlife management and conservation.

Lord David received Wildlife Estates Scotland accreditation at the Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace.

He is picture, right, with David Johnstone, Chairman of Scottish Land and Estates.

Wildlife Estate Scotland said of Cassillis: “It blends a large arable enterprise, which is a LEAF demonstration farm, with woodland management, renewables and conservation management of hedges, unharvested crops, wetland and water margins.”
