The latest incident at Falkland Estate is understood to have happened on Tuesday evening, when a dog was allowed to run freely attacking sheep on the farm.

The attack comes two months after similar warnings were issued after two sheep deaths in June.

In a statement from the Centre for Stewardship: Falkland Estate it said: “Sadly with another dog attack it is important visitors know that Falkland Estate is a working farm with livestock.

"We remind all dog walkers to keep dogs on leads - especially when passing livestock. We are caring for the injured sheep and are grateful this one survived.

"Help us to avoid any further instances by keeping dogs on leads and encouraging others to do the same by getting this message out to all Falkland Estate visitors."
