Highlands and Islands Police Scotland has issued a reminder to dog walkers ahead of lambing season.

The statement urges dog owners to have ‘full and proper control of their dogs’.

It adds: “If there is a potential that they might come into contact with sheep, a lead should be applied to the dog, especially at this time of year; coming into lambing season.”
