SCOTLAND'S plague of sheep worrying has struck again – farmers Mark and Debby Munro of Invercharron, Ardgay, Sutherland, discovered a number of their sheep had been attacked by dogs in the fields beside Carron Bridge at some point yesterday.

On their social media pages, they reported that some of the in-lamb ewes had also been chased into the river and it was now highly likely that, even if they survive, they will abort their lambs.

"Please could everyone be extra vigilant with their dogs," said Debby. "It would be devastating for this to happen again.

"Sorry for the graphic picture, but hoping to hit the message home," she added.
