Family dairy – with plant in Nairn – shows its bottle

ONE of Scotland’s best known farming families is celebrating its dairy’s 80th anniversary by offering its milk in traditional glass bottles.

Bottled at the Graham’s The Family Dairy plant in Nairn, whole and semi-skimmed milk will be available in pint-sized bottles to food service and retail outlet customers.

The company will also be taking orders for doorstep deliveries.

Managing director Robert Graham said: “Grandpa Graham started the family dairy back in 1939 with 12 cows, all milked by hand and delivered door to door by pony and cart. Eighty years and three generations of family later, fresh milk is still collected from our farmers daily across Scotland.

“Always keen to hear and respond to our customers, we have been asked to make our fresh local milk available in glass bottles for a little while now – so it is exciting to see this come to life.”

The glass milk bottle will be introduced in a limited edition 80th anniversary design.

The glass bottles will retail for around 85p for a pint, slightly higher than the plastic bottles, which usually sell for 50p.
