Humphrey Errington started making sheep’s cheese on his family run farm in the 80’s and is justly renowned for the famous ewe’s milk Lanark Blue, and White. His daughter Selina now runs the cheese-making business and introduced Corra Linn, a hard sheep’s cheese matured for 6 – 10 months.
Lanark Blue is the famous, Scottish mould ripened ewes’ milk cheese, sometimes described as “Scotland’s Roquefort.”
“All our cheese is handmade in our farmhouse creamery. Our sheep graze hillsides 1000ft above sea level, overlooking the valley of the upper Clyde.”
They also produce Dunsyre Blue and Maisie’s Kebbuck, a white cheese, both from the cow’s milk, from the somewhat rarer British Friesian herd nearby.
No onsite farm shop but available in many good farm shops and delis including Clan Carmichael, Valvona & Crolla and Henderson’s. Click link to see their mouth-watering website, latest news and more stockists.
