The Scots Grey is a dual-purpose breed of domestic chicken originating in Scotland, where it has been bred for more than two hundred years.

The face, wattles, earlobes and comb are bright red, and the beak and shanks are white, sometimes marked with black.

Although both sexes are closely similar (apart from secondary characteristics), the markings are larger in hens than in cocks, and may give a tartan appearance.

It is an active bird well suited to free range management, as it is hardy, and forages well.
