Scottish blackface is a variety of sheep that are widely raised in Scotland and northern England. These sheep are highly valued for their wool, meat, and milk. While the term "Scottish blackface" is the most common name for this breed, there are several synonyms that may be used. Some people may refer to them as Scottish mountain sheep, Scottish hill sheep, or simply blackface sheep. These terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same breed of sheep. Despite the different names, all refer to the same hardy and resilient breed that has been well-suited to the rugged landscape of Scotland for centuries.
