    Those things aren't flies. They're buzzards. You didn't cut the line a fly landed on it.
    The sheep may be almost as gorgeous as Swiss Valais.
    Happy to see someone rebuilding and preserving the past. Real humans, someone's ancestors, struggled to cart those stones to a house site, to make a safe place to bring up the future. Will we have anything as valuable to leave behind?

    I am a retired dairy farmer whose had dairy cattle and goats, but never sheep. I love your Scottish burr and get a kick out of your curly mop and energy. I enjoy seeing the different breeds of sheep you feature.

    The clarity of the water and the whiteness of the beach was amazing. What a beautiful area. The sheep seemed to be happy with their new haircuts and of course being turned loose again. Due to the remoteness of the area is the wool taken for processing or just left to mulch the land?. The sheep themselves were quite handsome. Cammy this was wonderful to watch video to watch. Thank you.

    • @TheSheepGame

The preservation of the main buildings of that past wee community is wonderful which is not a strong enough word really I just can't think of the right one right now...I also see the Dogs doing a great job then the humans seem to bugger it up a bit haaaa. The sheep being herded through the grass my goodness what a beautiful sight that was. And the ending with the sheep running so happy free feeling good without that heavy coat was beautiful. And well worth that shot of cheer in the end boys you deserved it!! Thank you for taking us to this other magical place Cammy. hugs
