The Scottish Dunface, Old Scottish Short-wool, Scottish Whiteface〔(Trow-Smith, Robert (1959), ''A History of British Livestock Husbandry 1700–1900'', Routledge and Kegan Paul, pp 122, 148. )〕 or Scottish Tanface was a type of sheep from Scotland. It was one of the Northern European short-tailed sheep group, and it was probably similar to the sheep kept throughout the British Isles in the Iron Age. By the mid-nineteenth century it had mostly been displaced by the Scottish Blackface and it became extinct on the mainland of Scotland in the late nineteenth century. However, several local types of Dunface survived on islands around Scotland, giving rise to or contributing to existing breeds including the Shetland, North Ronaldsay, Hebridean and Boreray. ==Characteristics== The Scottish Dunface was a short-tailed sheep with short, fine wool. Its face was often brownish, and its fleece could be various colours: white, black, brown or dun. In most varieties the ewes were polled〔 and the males horned,〔Hall, Stephen J G and Clutton-Brock, Juliet (1989), ''Two Hundred Years of British Farm Livestock'', British Museum (Natural History), ISBN 0-565-01077-8, pp 102, 111〕 but in Hebridean populations all animals were horned, often having two or even more pairs.〔(Macaulay, Kenneth (1764), ''The History of St Kilda'', T Becket and P A De Hondt, London, p 129 )〕
