CAIRIDH

Established in 1978, this sea water site was Marine Harvest’s first farm on Skye. It currently comprises:

12 x 100m plastic circle pens Use of wrasse and lumpsuckers as sea lice control

Cairidh means ‘fish trap’ in Gaelic. On the west coast the sea lochs lended themselves to being blocked off, and crofters would catch fish when they gathered.
