Moving ahead on rebuilding the retaining wall so I can install a ramp next to the new fence and retaining wall going in last week of September.

I tell you what you haven’t lived till you’ve driven a spade straight into a massive rock nearly shattering your hand!

Plenty of helpers on stand by admiring my work.

150 bags of soil and chip removed so
far.
Probably another 150 to go!

🔴 BLUETONGUE – TEMPORARY CONTROL ZONE IN SCOTLAND

Important notice for all local farmers and clients

The Scottish Government has today, 20 August 2026, declared a Temporary Control Zone (TCZ) for Bluetongue following suspicion of Bluetongue virus on premises in Scotland.

If your premises are within the TCZ, the following restrictions apply:

🐑 MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS
“In accordance with article 13(6) of the 2012 Order, a person must not move any animal, embryo, o**m or semen to or from premises in the Temporary Control Zone except as authorised by a licence granted by the Scottish Ministers”

📋 LIVESTOCK INVENTORY
Keepers and occupiers within the zone must maintain an up-to-date inventory of animals on the premises, recording:
• Number of animals alive
• Number dead
• Number alive that are infected or likely to be infected with Bluetongue
• Births and deaths, including dates

The restrictions apply to ruminants and camelids covered by the legislation. Premises partly inside the TCZ and partly outside it are treated as being wholly within the zone.

📍 IMPORTANT: The exact extent of the Temporary Control Zone is defined by the APHA Interactive Bluetongue Virus Map.

We will continue to keep our farming clients updated as further information becomes available.

Please share this post with local farmers and livestock keepers.
