Ewe asked us about sheep in Scotland

Over the last few months we’ve been asked some really interesting questions about sheep and Scotland. So this is the first blog post in which we’ll try to answer the first of many questions. I’m Anita, nice to meet you and this is my first WELAN blog post.

If you are anything like me and can’t help but go all doe-eyed around sheep, Scotland is a country you never have to look far to see one or two sheep. In fact, it would seem sheep outnumber Scotland’s human population by over a million according to National Records of Scotland and the Scottish Government’s statistics on agriculture.
