Following grading against a rigorous set of criteria, covering a range of areas such as energy and water efficiency, waste management and biodiversity, we were extremely proud to achieve a GOLD award from Visit Scotland's Green Tourism Business Scheme. We hope that you will all help us achieve our targets in the future, but also reduce your own environmental impact at work or home.
