The King has been invited to work on a Scottish croft again – by the SNP’s Ian Blackford. The party’s ex-Westminster leader has offered to host Charles to help him promote the rural way of life he loves. Blackford, one of Charles’s privy councillors, would love to introduce him to his sheepdog Maisie, who has been rounding up the flock on his croft on Skye for 11 years.
The MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber said of the King: “He has a love of crofting and is a champion of the way of life. I have offered the opportunity previously and would reiterate that welcome for him to share the experience again as it would give a boost to crofting at a time when it especially needs it.
