Additionally when storing, make sure they're stored in a cool, dark place. The colder (but not freezing) the better. Lare potato warehouses around here (western U.S.) keep their underground storage areas at about 35 degrees (F) year round...

It is definitly not true that Scotland is free from blight as my potatoes suffer greatly from it and blight is caused by growing conditions rather than coming via the seed potatoes.
