Hello, I am up near Banff and we used Dingwall. Just no where near. Its a bit of a drive but they are nice friendly staff and take private kill in on a Sunday. They deliver to our local butcher so we get to pick up from the van when they are in Banff.

Hello and welcome from Carnoustie  :wave:

Um, can I suggest that it would be a lot less stressful for the pig going to slaughter and the one left on its own, that they both went together?

Same applies - extra stress for the pig going, if it's going alone.
