A couple/family has been farming sheep on the remote Scottish island of Auskerry (Orkney Islands) for nearly 50 years. They have a flock of North Ronaldsays, or Rollies, an ancient native breed of seaweed-eating sheep ...
But now these people are getting old, they can not go on living and working there. Their son Hamish tries to find new people who can live on the island and go on with the sheep there. He tells about it in his series of Youtube videos.
