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.
