    We love Ally, he is a Dalscone hero for helping Cammy, The Hoof GP, James Parker, all of the Dalscone Farmers and all of the rescue team who came to Fiona’s help. Ally is a wonderful man xxxx

    Lovely to hear about Island. My great grandparents came to Ontario, Canada from the Isle of Lewis in the mid-1800’s. They were crofters.

    Great to hear more about the process of making your Harris Tweed Ben and Ally's imput of Island life. I loved what he said at the end, he is pationate about where he comes from and lives and who wouldn't coming from such a beautiful place. Well done to you all ❤

    Thank you so much for this. Ally is what Scotland is all about, even though I'm English one of my great grandmother's was Scottish, & one Danish. So I am very proud of my heritage. How sad though that such a Scottish product is mostly produced in China😔
    Thank you Ally, Ben , Kristoff & everyone involved. Great work!👏👏👏
