Border Cheviot sheep

Picture taken by me in Crawford South Lanarkshire 27/12/2012. With a Lumix G1.Cheviots are extremely hardy and can withstand harsh winters and graze well over hilly pastures. They were bred to look after themselves.

Recognized as early as 1372, the breed is reported to have developed from sheep that swam ashore from shipwrecked Spanish ships that fled northward after the defeat of the Armada.
