AN Auchencairn farmer has won the 2024 Texel Sheep Society Spotlight Award.
The judges said Ewan MacTaggart, of Rascarrel, shone out from the other finalists due to his in-depth knowledge of the breed and the society and his overall passion for all things Texel.
Society chief executive John Yates said: “Ewan is a fantastic ambassador for the breed and his commitment to Texel is second to none. I have no doubt that, in time, Ewan will fulfil all his ambitions within the breed.”
