"The #Hebridean land #revolt was a major uprising by the rural peasantry in 19th-century Scotland. Rents went unpaid. Fences were cut in the night. Land was illegally occupied. Telegraph poles were cut down."

A slumbering sun makes a slow, low pass over the #Hebridean hills, and I return to snuggle in on the sofa😴

Checked the boys the other day during a wee break in the weather. This is mutton 2023 and 2024, and Uncle Vadar - the guardian of the flock.

They spend the winter on the common grazings - a large area of ground where nearby crofts share the rights. This ground is pretty rough grazing - which suits my three-quarter Hebrideans very well. They need very little extra feed and grow slowly and steadily.
