Penning the sheep

Beautiful dogs and such a fascinating thing to do (we even got the sheep in the pen!).

Edinburgh Scotland, June 2008

Fantastic, wonderful experience with beautiful border collies (and all very friendly and willing to take direction from us [with Alan's help]!). We all loved it and in such a stunning place, loved the sheep also!
