Fair Isle through a lens - Episode 35

A series aiming to give a virtual tour of the U.K.'s most remote, inhabited island - Fair Isle. Join me, Rachel, as I guide you round the sights and locations of the island that has been my home for the last five years. I hope to share with you the stunning scenery of the isle and a look at life here.

Episode 35 - Shipping Lambs!

This episode consists of a series of short videos made throughout September as we ship our lambs out to the marts in Lerwick for sale. The lambs go out on our boat - the Good Shepherd IV - and are met at Grutness by a transporter lorry which then takes them up to Lerwick. The crossing takes around 2.5 hours and two of the ferry crew stay on deck with the sheep the whole time, in case any fall over or start to get distressed. For the 2020 season we had five boatloads go out, carrying a total of 796 lambs and sheep!
