I have a couple of Tamworth pigs that will be ready for slaughter early next year, recommendations for a good butcher in West Lothian or surrounding areas will be appreciated.

I think finding a slaughterhouse for pigs is quite difficult.  I've never seen pigs at Shotts but you could ask.  Or contact Wishaw - we don't use them because they are so big.  Shotts looks awful there but we find them good for our sheep, small.
There used to be a slaughterhouse in Galashiels which did pigs, but it closed after a wild boar seriously injured a slaughterman.
Otherwise it's further away somewhere down the M74 but I don't know where - sorry.
Hopefully someone else will come along with better info 


Now I see you're actually asking about butchers - sorry

Just contacted Shotts slaughterhouse and they do pigs so will save a lot of travelling and money on fuel, do you have a butcher you use for the sheep that you could recommend.

We used to use Jim Cairns in Law 01698 350 738.  He's a biker too so has been very accommodating.  He would fetch the carcases from Shotts and cut them as I wanted, then we would collect from the shop.
