History

We are Scotland's smallest, independent salmon farming company: rearing salmon from fry stages through the grower stage to harvesting and primary processing.

Founded by Robin Bradley and Alan Mann and based at Ardmair near Ullapool on the north-west coast of Scotland, Wester Ross Salmon was established in 1977. In 2006, Wester Ross Fisheries Ltd was established following the purchase of the assets of Wester Ross Salmon by four of our original employees, Gilpin Bradley, Colin Milne, Hugh Richards and David Robinson. Our company currently operates three seawater sites in Loch Kannaird, Loch Broom and Little Loch Broom producing around 1'500 tonnes of salmon per year. We also operate a freshwater smolt production unit at Elphin in Sutherland, a processing unit in Dingwall and a sales and administration office in Auldearn.
