Scottish salmon farmer Loch Duart has appointed Alister Morgan Erskine as a chairman of the board.

Erskine replaces Andrew Barbour who has stepped down from the board.

Last week Loch Duart was named exporter of the year at this year's Made in Scotland Awards.

In January, Loch Duart secured a £1.2 million (€1.4 million/$1.5 million) loan from HSBC UK that will enable it to upgrade its operations and renew equipment.
