For similar reasons, dairying districts such as Ayrshire developed a pig-farming industry as a means of using by-products from butter, cream and cheese production. Pig-keeping was a relatively small-scale activity until the 20th century. The development of intensive pig housing, in the late 20th century, brought a substantial increase in their presence on farms. These sties, now derelict, provided open yards and covered shelters. This was a common form of pig housing at grain mills and on farms, where even farm workers kept pigs. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
