The Scottish Blackface Shearing Information
Lochearnhead Shears was established in 1993, and over the years it has become one of the larger sheep shearing competitions in the United Kingdom. Sheep shearers from all over the World compete to take home the Scottish Blackface Shearing Champion title. Blackface sheep are predominant in this area and require extra skills from the competitors to overcome their flighty nature and the coarser wool of this mountain breed. Situated in central Scotland at the West end of Lochearn, it is an idyllic location for our event, surrounded by hills and the near by Ben Vorlich, at the start of the Highland mountainous range, where Highland hospitality is as much breathtaking as the views.
