Scotch Lamb takes its quality and characteristics from a stress-free life grazing on the Scottish hills on quality assured farms.
Scotch Meat is not simply a brand. It’s a mark of quality to ensure the meat you buy is traceable, local and quality assured.
Scotch Beef and Scotch Lamb proudly hold UK GI (Geographical Indication) status. It is a guarantee that a product fully satisfies strict guidelines which demand a proven link between the traditions and environment of a country of origin and a product which is of the highest quality.
