This week's update, Rob says he is pleased with how good his potatoes are looking (photo) and the small tubers will be bulking up. Mine are about a week ahead as they are in flower and looking good too. #mccainpotatoes #scanstone #eastcoastviners #RHET #foodandfarming #potatoes

@MissSpark2 @NSA_Scotland @LantraUK @qmscotland @LimousinUK @northmuirschool Great to get your classes out again, our RHET stewards really enjoyed taking them round, a credit to the school!

A great afternoon at @NSA_Scotland #ScotSheep2022 in conjunction with @RHETAngusCI. Excellent inputs from @LantraUK, @qmscotland, @LimousinUK and Kidd Veterinary along with sheep trials and a sheep sheering demonstration. @northmuirschool

Rob's tatties are looking very healthy in the sunshine, which potatoes love! The flowers on mine that were just showing a small buds last week are nearly out. #mccain #scanstone #eastcoastviners #RHET #foodandfarming #Potatoes

Day 1 at Kinnordy with #AncrumRoad #Northmuir . Stars of the day were probably the two Water Scorpions caught by one of the groups at the pond dipping. How great to back on this lovely Estate again! Thanks go to the Gifford family for hosting us. #Kinnordyestate #NFUSAngus #RHET

@LanglandsPS We are really glad you enjoyed it, it was great to be able to have schools out again!

Primary 6 had a fantastic day at Kinnordy Estate. They had so much fun learning about pond dipping, bee keeping, wood cutting & tree conservation and making oil from oil seed rape. Thank you @RHETAngusCI 🌾

@MissSpark2 @northmuirschool Glad you enjoyed it!

School trips are a go!! We enjoyed a day at Kinnordy Estate by kind permission of the Gifford family and @RHETAngusCI. We learned about key aspects of estate life including: forestry, farming, pond life, game keeping and so much more! @northmuirschool #OutdoorLearning

Rob messaged to say his tatties have come through and mine are now uncovered. I'm still keeping an eye on the weather though, as if there are any late frosts forecast I will need to cover them! #RHET #mccainfoods #scanstone #eastcoastviners #education #foodandfarming #potatoes
