Crofting is small-scale sustainable agriculture in the remote north, west and islands of Scotland. This makes crofts ideal places for holidays. You can share the wide open spaces, clear skies, outdoor lifestyle and natural environment with those who work the land and maintain the old traditions and culture.
Couple this with local food production and you have the right recipe for a wonderful holiday. Relax, unwind and enjoy the scenery.
