However, I thought lorne was a beef sausage or at least a mix of pork and beef?

Yup, me too 
It is usually a mix, but these ones are just pork

Having spent 20 or more years in the meat trade, our regular breakfast was a roll in lorne sausage, purely for quality control purpose of course. They can be made with either Pork or Beef or a mix of both. The reason that they are called Lorne is that the press that they are formed in is called a Lorne Pan, which is like a square loaf tin with a bottom that you can push out. Many of the products that are sold in multiple retailers are not made in the traditonal way but formed using a mechanical stuffer which is why many of them dry out round the outside and swell up in the middle.

I didn't know that Andrew (about the stuffers and the drying out) Think a roll in sausage is probably the staple for most of Scotland - either at breakfast ot lunch 
I think my butcher must be making them the right way cos they stay nice and flat

My O.H. who hails from Kilmarnock tells me the word is larn, not lorn. Or is it spelt lorn and pronounced larn. Is he wrong? Are you wrong?( does it matter ) I would call it square sausage
