New proposals threaten Scottish farmers' livelihoods


Exclusive
Lorna Scott says the new rules would make it impossible for her livestock to be transported during the winter months
SHETLAND farmer Lorna Scott is proud of her 750-strong flock of hardy sheep who easily withstand most of the weather the northern climate throws at them.
However under “ill-judged” ­proposals based on a Westminster committee’s report she would not be able to transport them unless the weather was a comparatively balmy 5°C.
The temperature restriction is just one of a number of proposals that have sent shockwaves through the crofting and farming community in Scotland, particularly in the islands where warnings have been given they could end livestock production.
