Sheep worrying
Sheep worrying
These idiots tried very hard to stop Angus chasing the sheep, they failed. Fortunately it was September and probably little harm was done. I don't do any shepherding now, nor have I a shotgun licence - but it could have been very different had somebody else been here, or it was lambing or tupping time. When you have lost sheep to dogs, this behaviour is very annoying.

The Pentlands are infamous for patronising signs. Perhaps they need to dumb them down even more.
