Scotland's beleaguered pig producers are being given a boost by Lanarkshire's independent butchers in a brand new Porktober initiative.
Throughout this month, Scottish Craft Butchers (SCB) in the area will be promoting the nutritional and economic value of pork in a "buy Scottish" drive in support of local producers.
The inability to move animals from farm to processing during COVID, and the influx of foreign imports, has left many of Scotland's 60-plus professional producers struggling.
