Business opportunity. Drovers Larder. Small unique shop in busy street in Perth. Due to management changes the team at Highland Drovers has decided to concentrate on other aspects of our business. However it seems a shame to close Drovers Larder as it is a popular wee shop. There is an excellent opportunity for someone passionate about local and good food to get a start in Perth for not much.This could be a great venture for someone. Very favourable terms to see this continue. Leasehold. Very accomadating Landlord. Please call me on 07789 301751 or pm me. Please share. Thanks.

Hebridean mutton. Whole and half mutton. Butchered to your specification by the expert hands of Roy and Calum delivered to any mainland UK address for only £75 for a whole and £45 for a half. Orders now being taken.

Picture the scene.... a bright cold frosty morning. Humble farmer sets of on his feeding round, which includes the Zwartbles. Immediately noticing the recently bought reserve male champion was missing from his ladies.... First thoughts OH NO!!! he has got in with the neighbours ewes, she will kill me this time 😲. Then I heard a faint bleet. So he is just over there. Never would have guessed in a 1000 years where he was..... standing in the middle of the pond. What what!! Why... are you there it is freezing. Why are you there....Obviously couldn't leave him there and he didn't look like he was going to move by his own choice. So the first plan; chuck some stones and sticks and try and get my water loving dogs to swim out, fail too cold for dogs to even put a paw in. So to myself I said don't be a wimp and toughen up, walk out and get him. Starting from the side nearest him. First step up to the knee, ok not too bad, second step was into an abyss! Straight up to the waist and my foot stuck in 30 years of silt and duck poop, mild panic attack as my breath was knocked out by cold shock. Gee it was so cold... Next plan get some long sticks and follow the broken ice that the tup had made on his way to the centre of the pond. 10 feet or so from the edge a repeat of the earlier dunking and genuinely thought I'm stuck and going to die. I am not going to die rescuing a sheep, how embarrassing. Plan 3 find a boat, better plan. I knew there was an old up turned one at the loch. So chittering and squelching headed off and dragged boat up to the pond. No oars so made do with a beater for heather burning. Eventually got out to tup. He was water logged and so heavy, evertime I tried to pull him in the edge of the boat neared the water line and images of capsizing flooded my mind. Eventually managed to haul him aboard. Told him stand there and not move. Went to the stern to paddle/punt back. Bloody sheep joined me near knocking me in and the bow was pointing skywards. Eventually got back to the bank. Jumped out and secured boat. Was not actually cold now, just numb, so stood and looked at the scene and pondered what has just happened. The tup took a couple of minutes then hopped over the boat edge and wandered off to see his girls. What was that all about. Just weird behaviour. I hauled the boat out and turned round to find he had returned. To have a moment of thanks with me....no chance he wanted his breakfast. You ungrateful ****. I can't think what possessed him. Next time I'm just going to call Stevie or Moutain Rescue, sure they would appreciate the practice. I'm glad no one saw or filmed the scene.

View from the office today.

Well, today was very successful for the Borland Farm team. Would just like to thank Stevie Reilly for his hard work and effort. Also many thanks to John Singer, Grace Noble and the rest of those who help organise and run the East of Scotland Club show. Time for a wee celebration. 🐂🐮🍷🍻🍺

What a lovely day for the last Highland cow of the year to give birth. The last calf from our old bull Stepdancer who has moved on to Invercauld estate near Braemar. Next stop the Belties to find a very fresh bull calf looking for breakfast. As the day went on the rest of the Belties took themselves to the wee pond to cool off and get some shade under the trees. Looks like a scene from an African savanna.

When it's available the mutton is excellent

We got mini pies from the shop in Perth and they were amazing �

Top quality meat you wont find better.

Perth's best butcher by far.

Just had the rump steak and it was one of the nicest I have had in a long while. Love all the meat I have had so far.

Just had some fillet steak, awesome could cut it with a butter knife. Yummy

It's the best meat you can get and easy to cook for mouth watering results every time!

Incredible meat, such good quality. We were very very impressed. Will be ordering more :)

Great produce coming from a great farm. Our favourites are the steak minutes and the haggis beef olives. Thanks to Kenneth for making this possible.

Easy ordering online. Quick delivery. Brilliant produce. Delighted to support a local retailer.

Can't get enough of it. Our guests love the Ribeye and Sirloin, but are also partial to a beef short rib...

or shin of beef, or braised steak - or oxtails.

Wouldn't dream of serving anything else
