About

Scalpsie Farm is located on the west coast of Scotland, about an hour from Glasgow, on the Isle of Bute.

Our farm carries a herd of about 170 suckler cows, mainly “Saler cross” cows with Charolais calves at foot, and about 1,000 breeding ewes consisting of 150 Herdwicks and 850 Highlander and Aberfield Ewes.

Farmed by Ian and John Dickson, the farm is producing “lamb and beef” which is sold mainly through Scotbeef to supply Marks & Spencers aswell as our local butcher R. H. McIntyre, Rothesay and Bute Kitchen.
