Naturally Scottish,  naturally the best and favoured by those who love good eating. 

   Naturally reared beef - tastes like beef used to!

We are suppliers of prime quality Highland Beef, naturally reared and tasting superb. This beef comes from pedigree Highland Cattle, Scotland's best known and oldest native breed, which has hardly changed over the centuries. (See Our Highland Cattle  for information on this fascinating breed) Being "unimproved" by man, Highland Cattle are slower growing than modern commercial cross-bred types of cattle, so this is not the kind of beef stocked by supermarkets or most butchers' shops. You need to come to a specialist producer like ourselves to discover and enjoy this wonderfully flavoured old fashioned beef. 

  Why is Highland Beef so good?

Highland Beef is outstanding for its flavour, tenderness and fine texture - all attributable  to a combination of factors - the breed itself,  a grass based diet, good management  and very importantly, correct  handling of the carcass. This includes ensuring that the sides of beef are  well hung for a minimum of three weeks before cutting. 

Lean and low in cholesterol, Highland beef carries just the right amount of marbling through the meat to give that succulence and flavour so typical of old fashioned traditional beef. (Products)
