A sheep has been stranded at the foot of a Scottish Highlands cliff for two years, earning the animal the moniker “Britain’s loneliest sheep”, and prompting animal lovers to call for it to be rescued.
She made the same trip recently and was horrified to see the same sheep – albeit with a thicker, longer coat.Recalling her first encounter with the animal, Ms Turner said she saw the ewe on a shingles beach at the bottom of a steep, rocky coastline. However, she was shocked to find the same animal still there when she made the same kayaking trip recently.
Describing the situation as “heart-rending”, Ms Turner added: “The poor ewe has been on her own for at least two years – for a flock animal that has to be torture, and she seemed desperate to make contact with us on the two occasions we’ve gone past her.”Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals chief superintendent Mike Flynn said the charity was aware of the sheep being stranded at the bottom of a cliff.
