Concern after lamb has ear bitten off

Police are chasing up leads following a sheep-worrying incident in the Pentland Hills.

The incident took place around 3:25pm on Saturday at a farm near the Kirkgate area of Currie. A tancoloured dog, possibly a spaniel, was seen harrying livestock in a field and a lamb was later discovered to be missing an ear.

Police Scotland emphasised “the need for dog walkers to ensure their animals are kept on leads”.
