In this episode, Sasha tells the amazing story of North Ronaldsay sheep, a story encompassing everything from boom to bust (in the potash industry) and from war to wool. Mostly, though, it’s the story of some very resilient sheep and the similarly resilient people with whom they share a tiny island in the North Sea. Mentioned in the episode: The Rare Breeds Survival Trust A Yarn from North Ronaldsay The Orkney Sheep Foundation, dedicated to “securing the future of the native seaweed-eating sheep on the foreshore of North Ronaldsay” Orkney Sheep Foundation YouTube channel Patterns for North Ronaldsay
