We are a small farm in the Highlands of Scotland, our existence has been under threat since refusing to do what a large group including a professional investor looking to make money who lives 5000miles away wanted us to do. The farm is our life.

We have been attacked twice through litigation whilst only wanting to exist peacefully. A letter we received from 5000miles away states to buckle up and that a group with deep pockets will take up all our time and resources because we won`t do what they want. It states we are in for the fight of our lives.

Our farm was started in 2006 from nothing-blood, sweat and tears as well as a understanding bank helped us create something we are proud of. We rent some land to the group for £1 which was to assist the local area however the project has been hijacked in ways we can still not believe.

A very real threat exists that those with deeper pockets than us will force us out.

Please help us and our 50 cows and calves to survive fighting 5 lawyers with vast knowledge of the legal systems.

Thank you for help it means so much to us

The REAL Facts on who owns the Farm Renewable Energy Systems

The following article appeared in the press in 2023. It is important that the public are made aware that our farm owns the renewable energy systems not the distillery-we manages the farm electricity system daily that GlenWyvis distillery draws energy from for free. Despite repeated formal requests by solicitors the distillery has refused to pay for the increasing costs of imported electricity despite mentioning the increases in the article below! Is it all a game to the legal eagles within the distillery? You decide..
