Standhill Farm is now well known for pioneering new and progressive techniques in horticulture, not least for growing tomatoes - in Scotland! When I was a lad around seventy years ago, tomato production in the UK was centred around the Channel Islands, Gurnsey especially. Gurnsey of course having a fully fledged airport. So, I wonder, is this new airstrip available to visitors?
