The Scottish Crannog Centre is dedicated to operating and educating in an environ- -mentally responsible manner. We recycle building and other materials, harvest timber and plants in accordance with sustainable woodland management agreements, and we sell eco-friendly products in our giftshop. We encourage all staff to buy Fair Trade and organic products wherever possible for use at work and at home. In addition, we aim to be informed about local amenities and sites of cultural and environmental interest so that we may give useful advice or recommendations to both residents and visitors to the area. As a result of these and other policies, we have gained the prestigious GOLD Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme in Scotland. The scheme promotes best practice and encourages businesses to reduce their impact on the environment. See also www.green-business.co.uk
