The Post Office Sheep (1995)
The Post Office > Image had its own croft, which was grazed by a small flock of North Country Cheviots. The Post Office sheep were marked with the letters 'PO' in order to distinguish them from the many other sheep in the area. Before the era of marking sheep with a plastic tag (pierced through the animal's ear), each croft used to have their own mark that was either applied onto the sheep's coat or cut into their ears (the latter is called a lug mark). The view is towards Bighouse Lodge and the Halladale river mouth.
