Scottish Gov webpage says 13 days for all livestock except pigs, for which it's 20. Like England, they can still go direct to slaughter.

Not a regular fat sale but they could go to a "red slaughter market", where everything must go direct to slaughter from the sale.

13 days unless you have an isolation area. We have, it's conveniently a field on the other side of the road. They are very understanding here so you can always phone SAMU to ask if you have an odd situation or are puzzled.
