Sheep turning blue for St Andrew
Back to News

A flock of blue sheep has appeared in central Scotland as part of a series of events to mark St Andrew’s Day.

Celebrations of the nation’s patron saint will be taking place across the country on Sunday 30 November.

The blue sheep, coloured with animal-friendly paint, have popped up near Junction 3a of the M8.

Andrew Jack, the farmer who owns the flock, said: "The blue sheep are making a lot of people smile on their way to work on the M8."
