A person who runs a food business on the island of Scotland has an attractive offer to the right couple.
He said he plans to make the entity available for free to those who want to move to the area for a long time, which is all the desire to help protect the future of the community.
News Agency SWNS said Richard Irvine, 65, established his smoking about three years ago, and spent his honeymoon with his wife after his first "falling in love" with Hebridean Island in the 1980s. His business, smoking on the hills, provided smoked salmon to shops and local restaurants and venues on the island.

The close-knit community has only about 120 residents - Irvine wants to hand over the business to a young couple who plan to stay and help build the area.
He said he wanted to help promote the local and school population.

"Holding young people to live here is a continuous driving force for the island's efforts," SWN said.
“Many of my peers on the island have devoted their skills and time with a voluntary capacity to help develop the island economy…[their goal]increases the number of affordable accommodations, which is great,” he said.
“Call it is the island that helps me love.”
"But housing is just one aspect of the island's problem. Economic development - work - another. That's where I think I can add value."

He said he wanted to "transfer through this business and the opportunities it provides to people who are willing to run and grow the business, but perhaps lack the initial capital to build it. Going back, calling it Boomer Guim, calling it a desire to help the island I love," he added.
“My vision is to find a young couple who might be with a young family who want their home () to need a way to make a living.”

He said Irvine founded the smoker after retiring from his career.
“I moved here early after retirement from a career covering buildings, chef jobs, business writing and successful design and brand consulting,” he said. “We have been here (on vacation) for nearly 40 years since I took my wife’s honeymoon.”

The couple initially planned to buy the plot and build the house on Colonsay but realized they needed accommodation in the process. Within a few months, they discovered and purchased a house with sea views.
When his wife lives on the mainland with her son, Irving takes on the task of renovating a new island house. He said it was done “the end of the pandemic.”
Richard Irvine said he hopes to give back to the island by handing over the smoked salmon business to a young couple. He said the ideal candidate would have "entrepreneurial spirit". (colonsay smokey)
He also said he "needed a project that kept me busy".
“I had the idea of creating a business that would benefit the island I like and I could hand me over to someone to encourage them to move here.”
He said the ideal candidate would have "entrepreneurial spirit".

The process of smoking salmon takes five days. The BBC notes that it involves drying the fish, smoked and leaving it to cure the fish with salt before ripening.
It is then sliced and packaged before selling.
Irvine is looking for a couple who are willing to accept the idea of "one of Britain's most beautiful islands, if not the world". (colonsay smokey)
He said Irving said he would mentor everyone for three months.
“I will guide them and teach them a three-month exchange if needed… the only thing I have to do is keep a 'gold share' form to make sure they keep their business for five years and hope to grow for five years.”

Ideally, he said, he would like to find a family that appreciates the close connections of Colonsay Elementary School and have the opportunity to swap a small city into a larger, more affordable family just minutes from work.

"If you think you might be that couple - write me to tell me why," he said.
