SUNART AND SKYE
Two businesses based in Lochaber and Skye have been recognised at the northern regional heats of the UK-wide Rural Business Awards.
Resipole Studios and Fine Art Gallery, based on the edge of Loch Sunart, was crowned Best Rural
Creative or Media Based Business, while Skyeskyns, a tannery from Skye, won Best Rural Manufacturing Business.
The companies were presented with their awards at a glittering ceremony in Bolton on Tuesday October 9.
With its stunning location in a 19th-century barn, Resipole Studios and Fine Art Gallery showcases the best of contemporary Scottish art, while Skyeskyns, established in 1983, is the sole remaining commercial
woolskin tannery in Scotland.
Following their impressive win at the regional awards, Resipole Studios and Skyeskyns will now go on to represent Scotland at the national final in February 2019.
