Pig Production in the Lowlands of Scotland*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 May 2016
Extract
Scotland in the past has never been recognised as having an important pig industry. The reason for this, I think,is that in the years before the last war the pig was definitely looked down on by the larger arable farmers, and was considered a dirty and smelly animal to have about the farm. These farmers, therefore, stuck to their fattening cattle and flocks of sheep, although one often heard it said by them that fattening bullocks did not pay, but it was necessary to obtain muck for the arable land.
