Gigha dairy farmer's school milk bid rebuffed

"AN ISLAND dairy farmer is refusing to give up his campaign to get his milk served to pupils in his local primary school.

Don and Emma Dennis run the Wee Isle Dairy on Gigha, off Kintyre, where they produce whole milk from their 60-strong cow herd.

But when the local primary asked them to supply 15 litres a week they were stopped from doing so by a Scottish Government ruling stating that only skimmed, or semi-skimmed milk, can be given to pupils in schools, as part of efforts to counter child obesity."
