Good luck Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🐟

After 28 years, Scotland are back on football’s biggest stage at the !

The Scotland National Team ’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup marks a truly monumental occasion, ending a wait that stretches all the way back to 1998.

As the squad prepares to play this weekend, it’s a reminder of just how much has changed over nearly three decades.

And it’s not just football!

This archive image from our member Mowi Scotland takes us back to 1998, showing back when it was Marine Harvest!

Here’s a glimpse of what salmon farming looked like at the time, with many of the people and ideas that shaped today’s sector just getting started.

Since then, the sector has made significant progress, driven by innovation, advances in fish health and welfare, and new technologies supporting sustainability and responsible growth!

Good luck to the Scotland National Team this weekend!

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 | Meet Adam 👋
Mowi is proud to be feeding a nation, our teams are out all seasons all weathers, here we meet one of our farmers, Adam and learn about his role and career journey …..

❓What do you do at Mowi ?
🐟I am one of the Site Assistant Managers at Torridon, helping oversee the day-to-day running of the farm and supporting the team to maintain high standards of fish welfare and health and safety.

❓What is your career journey?
🎓After leaving the Merchant navy when I was 16, I went to work at a freshwater hatchery. I worked there for 6 years, gaining a lot of knowledge and experience in aquaculture, but then I wanted to learn more about the industry. So, I joined the marine sector. During my 19 years in fish farming, I have worked as a boat skipper, net washing supervisor, health observer and now in management.

❓What do you like most about your job?
🧡I absolutely love being on the water and working out at sea. Definitely helps that we work at such a picturesque location.

❓What do you think would surprise people the most about aquaculture?
🤔I think a lot of people don’t realise how technical and intricate our job is in Aquaculture. There are so many variables that make it a very challenging industry. Especially with weather and environmental conditions, it takes a lot of responsibility and skill to perform our job.

❓What advice would you give someone wishing to make a career in aquaculture?
⁉️If you are willing to learn and work hard with a good positive attitude there are a lot of different opportunities within the company and industry. Never be afraid to ask questions and Get stuck in!

❓Who would be your ideal dinner guest and what salmon dish would you make them
🍣My ideal dinner guest would be either Sir Anthony Hopkins and/ or Keanu Reeves.
I would prepare a sushi dish and my famous gravadlax. And maybe with a glass of Chianti…

𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 | Despite the less-than-perfect weather 🌧️, we had an amazing time at the Rosyth Gala last weekend and were blown away by the support from the local community.

We’re thrilled to say we sold out of all our salmon (thank you!) and raised £900 for The Rosyth Gala Rosyth Eats 🎉💙

It was great chatting to so many people, some of whom were trying salmon for the first time, and others who told us they visit the wagon every year at the event. Queen Elsa dropped in past to say hello, and the smell of the delicious salmon even attracted the attention of a passing dinosaur 🦖🤭

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered their time, or stopped by for some salmon, and helped make the day such a success – drizzle and all! 🙌
