- IAN BUNTING

Monklands butchers Hugh Black & Sons enjoyed a bangin’ success as its link sausage was crowned the best in south-east Scotland.

The firm's tasty triumph took place at the Scottish Pork Sausage Championship 2025.

Cameron Black from the brilliant butchers attended the competition in Perth and lifted the South-east Scotland Championship, saying the whole team was “over the moon”.

Now one of the country's largest independent butchers, with 13 shops throughout the central belt, Hugh Black & Sons remains a family-run affair.

Cameron, grandson of the original founder, said it was especially pleasing to get rewarded for what the family believe is a really good product.
