Title: Dunblane Abbatior
Post by: F.CUTHBERT on February 15, 2018, 11:20:42 pm

Heard today that Dunblane shut the doors a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone else heard anything?
What's the alternatives Shotts or Wishaw?

Yes, I'm afraid it's true. More details (such as they are) here (http://www.thescottishfarmer.co.uk/news/15971636.Family_run_abattoir_closes_in_Dunblane/).


The alternatives sound like Shotts, Wishaw and Paisley. If anybody knows of others in Central Scotland that do private kills, please post details below!

It's a pity Downfield don't do cattle as it would be really handy but i don't think it is going to happen any time soon.
Going to give Whishaw a try on Monday
