A Highland Perthshire farmer has been left “devastated” after six ewes and 11 lambs were callously stolen from his land.
Shepherd Alastair Kininmonth revealed his livestock were taken under the cover of darkness just 500 yards from where he and wife Angela live.
The theft happened on Kinnighallen Farm at Fortingall, just west of Aberfeldy, on Monday night with local concerns raised that two men in a blue van were seen scoping the area in the days before are those responsible.
