The thing about Luing

Richard Baynes meets the people making the most of the green, rocky island of Luing off the Argyll coast - with beef, oysters, wind power and more.

They came up with the first new British breed of beef cattle in 150 years, the Luing, back in the 1950s and 60s - but making a living for all the family from their island home isn鈥檛 straightforward. Richard Baynes takes the ferry to Luing off the coast Argyll in the west of Scotland, to find out how the Cadzows are making the best of this green but rocky island, trying to create jobs and a future for themselves and their workforce while also taking care of a place of stunning beauty.
