We visited Mount Stuart to learn about the history of the house and grounds, and to meet with Dylan, this year's Emerging Artist in Residence at Mount Stuart. Dylan's project focuses on tactile engagement, and it was fantastic to speak with Dylan about his project.

Cracking day on Bute with ⁦@mountstuart⁩ ⁦& @MairiGougeon⁩ talking all things farming and new entrants. To be honest I was there to see the cows and new parlour! Real partnerships formed (not in the business sense) which are delivering for all involved.
