Rural Farming.

Church of Scotland ministers with a shared special interest in the country's farming community had a rare opportunity to meet up at Dingwall Mart's sale of store cattle this week.

The Kirk's national farming minister, Rev Chris Blackshaw, who is himself a farmer, came to the Highlands to meet Simon Jackson, a reader in the Church of Scotland and chaplain to Dingwall Mart.

Also in attendance were Kinlochbervie and Durness minister Rev Andrea Boyes, who is chaplain to Lairg Mart and raises sheep on her own croft, Rev Rory MacLeod, presbytery clerk for Clèir Eilean ì, the new unified presbytery for the Highlands and Islands, and local Dingwall minister Rev Bruce Dempsey of St Clements Parish Church.
