Comment posted First lambs at Auchindrain since 1967 by Bob Clark.

The vacancy was advertised for several weeks through JobCentrePlus – the Government’s official system. After reviewing applications from all over Europe (only a handful of which were from within the UK and even fewer from within Argyll), an open and objective recruitment process selected the applicant with the best mix of experience and skills.

Provided that language ability is not an issue and the applicant is an EC citizen, I do not believe it would be lawful to take an applicant’s nationality into account as a recruitment issue.

  • Price of peat from Auchindrain falls
    For anyone who wants peat for their winter fire, we are open most weekdays from 10am until dusk. But it’s worth ringing first to check we are there that day – 01499 500235.
  • Price of peat from Auchindrain falls
    Yes, it is good news about the “All Our Stories” award from the Heritage Lottery Fund. However, to split hairs but also to give credit where it’s due, the project isn’t being run by Auchindrain itself, but by the Friends of Auchindrain. The two bodies will of course be working closely together, but the slow and methodical work involved in tracing the township’s people through history is one “Auchindrain” priority that the Friends can take on. There is much that needs to be done that they cannot, so this is some intelligent thinking within an effective partnership.
  • Campbeltown’s Wee Picturehouse gets biggest government repair grant
    Many congratulations from Auchindrain on this splendid award. A great achievement for Jane Mayo and her team, and excellent news for Campbeltown.
  • Accidents throw Argyll roads into chaos earlier today
    Seb, our good wishes to you for a speedy recovery. If you are able, once you are back on your feet again, do please come and visit us at Auchindrain. Stay in touch!
  • Accidents throw Argyll roads into chaos earlier today
    Thank you for your kind comments. We acted as seemed reasonable and decent at the time, in taking the passengers off the stopped Service 926 – and also in informing people in the queued traffic, many with kids, that just round the corner they could find refreshments and toilets.

    We’d do the same for anyone in a crisis.

  1. Glad Karol seems to be doing a good job, but couldn’t they have got someone Scottish to be in charge of the agricultural activities at the township?

  2. I have no issues with a Pole doing the job, my question really is answered in the fact that the job was advertised and no-one local, or nearly local was suitable. Does that say a lot about Argyll or Poland?
