A TERRIFIC new book on Scottish farming has been released into the pre-Christmas market, with all proceeds going to rural charity RSABI.

Following the success of their 'Farming is a Funny Business' book in 2015, brothers John and Andrew Arbuckle have written a list-based account of Scottish agriculture, titled 'Farming Facts and Fake News', containing a mixture of essential information on all aspects of Scottish rural life, alongside many totally irrelevant, but entertaining, facts about farming, farmers and those who live in the countryside.

Farmer and TV presenter Adam Henson wrote its foreword, and officially launched the title at an RSABI supporter event held last Friday in Dunfermline. Mr Henson said: “There has never been a book of lists about farming and this aims to fill that gap. It covers the whole range of activities down on the farm and it stretches back into a previous era as well as recording what is happening today.

"Reflecting modern life, some of the lists could be considered fake news – but, unlike politicians who often mix up facts and fiction, we have every confidence in the reader recognising any strangers to the truth."

With more than 120 lists to enjoy, there is something for everyone in the new book, with little pieces of history sitting alongside futuristic predictions. It is priced at £10, with all proceeds going to RSABI
