There is one in every crowd, they say! I waited patiently for all these curious Scottish Blackface Sheep and their lambs to face the camera. However, one was very stubborn and continued to face in the opposite direction! Who can identify with that one lamb?
In case you are wondering what you are seeing at the top of the image, those are what the Scots call neeps (swedes), and what the Americans call rutabagas. They are a hardy low-cost crop to grow in Scotland, and provide a high energy diet for the sheep!
