‘Blue Monday’ commuters surprised with free bacon rolls

Commuters coming out of Edinburgh Waverley yesterday were surprised with free bacon rolls made with Specially Selected Pork  to brighten up what some consider the most depressing day of the year, Blue Monday.

It’s a small gesture aimed at brightening the day for those who might need a little boost whilst encouraging commuters to ‘look for the logo’ when shopping for beef, lamb and pork.

When you see the Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb and Specially Selected Pork logo, you can be guaranteed that you are buying beef, lamb and pork that is only ever born and reared for its whole life on trusted quality assured Scottish farms.
