IMPRESSIONS It has to be said that virtually everyone that hears «Scotland» for the first time thinks of endless heavy sky, full of big, dark grey clouds. But that's not the way it has to be. Our destination lies in a magical, wildly romantic corner of the south west of Scotland, just fifty kilometres north west of Glasgow – Loch Fyne. A journey back to the past and at the same time into the future. Why not join us? Glasgow, a city like many others. Maybe a little darker and greyer than others when the weather is poor. But once you leave the city behind you, a world starts which is so typical for Scotland: rugged coastline embedded in mystical grassy hills formed by the ever-present wind and weather; delightful harbours where time seems to have stood still; a resolute stone castle with a few simple fishing villages next to it. And over and over again, you pass by those typical deep lochs or sea lochs, also referred to as fjords. Here the mountain springs from the highlands flow into the Atlantic; this is the home of fishermen and farmers, but also of noble castle owners. This is also true of the former county of Argyll, on the longest and mightiest of Scotland’s fjords. Here you will find the 65-kilometre-long Loch Fyne and with it the world’s most famous oyster farm! A castle owner and a biologist In 1977, John Noble inherited Castle Ardkinglas on Loch Fyne: 80 rooms, 4’800 hectares of land – but with it a mountain of debt. He was forced to seriously think about how to save the castle. His good friend Andrew Lane, a biologist, had noticed the particular movements of the tides of Loch Fyne: the fjord is flooded with fresh Atlantic water twice a day and, correspondingly, the water level sinks by four metres when the tide goes out.The two gourmets were convinced that the pure waters of the fjord would provide the perfect, biological conditions to breed oysters. And thus the idea of an oyster farm was born. 48 Lage: Argyll am Loch Fyne, dem längsten Fjord Schottlands. Oyster Bar, Shop und Smokehouse befinden sich in einem ehemaligen Bauernhof an der Inveraray Road am Eingang zum Tal Glen Fyne. Die Muschel- und Austernzucht liegt am anderen Ufer in Ardkinglas, in rund 1,5 Kilometer Entfernung. Von hier aus beliefert Loch Fyne Oysters Feinschmecker, Gastronomen und Fachhändler auf der ganzen Welt mit frischen und geräucherten <strong>Delikatessen</strong>. Zum Angebot gehören erlesene Meeresfrüchte und Schalentiere sowie Fleisch- und Wildspezialitäten. Loch Fyne Oysters Ltd.

In 1978, they started with just their dream, 100 pounds sterling and the «Portuguese Oyster Crassostrea Gigas». They wanted to found a company based on Noble’s extremely ecological philosophy. A company which would support both the local community and produce without exploiting natural resources. And with it, they were also eventually to create a new source of money to ensure the upkeep of the magnificent castle. But it took seven long years until they were finally running a successful business. Enthusiasm and assertiveness helped them through the bad times, as they both tried to publicise the idea from «door to door», but nobody believed in their plan, let alone wanted to give them any financial support! Top-quality oysters Today, Loch Fyne is the leading oyster farm worldwide.The organically-farmed Pacific rock oysters are meaty and taste particularly sweet.They grow naturally and slowly in baskets on the reefs. It takes three to five years until they have developed the typical, tender taste.The water the oysters live in thus has an unmistakable, fresh smell. It is a special mixture of fresh water from the hills and sea water from the Atlantic. This is why these oysters are considered a particularly delicious delicacy – extremely nutritious and very healthy.They are mostly eaten either raw or done in the oven covered with cheese. Based in Argyll, at the head of Loch Fyne, the longest sea loch in Scotland. The Oyster bar, Shop and Smokehouse are housed in a former cattle byre beside the Inveraray Road at the foot of Glen Fyne. A mile across the water at Ardkinglas lies the mussel and oyster fishery. From here Loch Fyne Oysters specialises in producing and supplying quality fresh and smoked seafood, shellfish, meat and game to individual and trade customers around the world.

As a result of the early death of John Noble, the company has been owned by the employees since 2004, a last great gesture of the fine John Noble! John Noble The laird of Castle Ardkinglas and founder of the Loch Fyne company, who died in 2002, was a passionate, generous and charming man.The fact that his company in Ardkinglas could offer more jobs to local people than his family's estate at the time of his great grandfather made him extremely proud.As an environmental activist, he knew no limits in terms of the region, its products and its people. His positive attitude won him loyal friends and faithful customers.
IMPRESSIONS Schloss Ardkinglas Schloss Ardkinglas steht über dem Ufer des Loch Fyne unweit von Inverary. Gebaut wurde das Schloss im Auftrag von Sir Andrew Noble 1907 von Robert Lorimer, einem von den leitenden schottischen Architekten. Er hat ein geräumiges Anwesen mit eigenen Parks und Gartenanlagen gebaut. Das Haus ist bis heute eigentlich unverändert – ein weiterer Beweis von der Zeitlosigkeit Lorimers Designs. Der Ardkinglas-Woodland- Garten ist für seinen Reichtum an Rhododendren und die mächtigsten Koniferen in Europa bekannt. Ardkinglas House Ardkinglas House stands at the head of Loch Fyne not far from Inverary. Commissioned by Sir Andrew Noble, it was designed and built in 1907 by Robert Lorimer, one of Scotland’s leading architects. He built a generous estate with its own parks and gardens. The House remains substantially unchanged today – further proof of the timelessness of Lorimer’s design. The Ardkinglas Woodland Garden is well-known for its abundance of rhododendrons and the mightiest conifer in Europe. 49
