All baa myself: Is this Britain's loneliest sheep?
A sheep spotted at the foot of steep cliffs on the shores of a Scottish firth has been dubbed Britain's loneliest sheep.
Jill Turner, from Brora, said she first came across the ewe while kayaking along the Moray Firth 's east Highland coast.
She believes she has seen the same sheep again, with a very overgrown fleece, on a recent trip this year.
Ms Turner told it bleated out to her and fellow kayakers.
National newspapers have since picked up The Story , leading to the ewe being nicknamed Britain's loneliest sheep.
Ms Turner said she has tried contacting A Number of organisations about helping The Animal back up the cliffs. She hopes it might still be possible to get it to safety.
She was on a kayaking trip between Balintore and Nigg and was about to paddle from the Moray Firth into the Cromarty Firth when she first spotted The Sheep in 2021. It was felt at The Time The Sheep would be able to find its own way to fields above the cliffs.
But the same animal is believed to be Still There - it looks similar and its fleece has overgrown due to not being sheered for two years.
