At Loch Long Salmon, we believe in the pristine beauty of our environment and the importance of preserving it for future generations. That’s why we’re proud to be a key sponsor of the Friends of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs’ Bonnie Banks Bin Scheme. We are committed to working with local people on their priorities in the face of cuts to important services.
The Friends of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs have faced significant funding challenges this year, resulting in the unfortunate discontinuation of several vital programs.
Despite these setbacks, the Bonnie Banks Bin Scheme will continue, thanks to a generous one-off grant from the Hannah Stirling Loch Lomond Trust and the unwavering support of the local business community, including Loch Long Salmon. We are dedicated to ensuring the success of this initiative, which is essential for managing litter and maintaining the beauty of the loch.
John Urquhart, chair of the Friends, expressed gratitude to all supporters, highlighting the exceptional contribution from local businesses. “Tourism businesses have been struggling of late, so it is a sign of the importance they attach to this issue that, even when times are hard, they are willing to dip into company finances to the extent they do,” he said.
Stewart Hawthorn, Managing Director of Loch Long Salmon, emphasised our commitment: “Loch Long Salmon is very pleased to support community initiatives such as this campaign from the Friends of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. We look forward to working with both the Friends of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and the Arrochar community in the future.”
The long-term sustainability of the Bonnie Banks Bin Scheme remains a pressing issue. We at Loch Long Salmon are committed to continuing our support and collaborating with other stakeholders to find lasting solutions.
Together, we can ensure that Loch Lomond remains a clean, beautiful, and welcoming destination for all. Thank you to everyone who contributes to this vital cause.
