A crowd-funding appeal has been launched on the Isle of Mull – to keep sheep at bay; or, more correctly, to keep them away from the bay.
It seems that sheep grazing the machair on the island’s Calgary Bay have been munching the carpet of flowers which surround the bay and an appeal has now been made to fence them off.
It seems Argyll and Bute council own the land, but can’t afford the £12,000 required, so a Just Giving donation page has been set up.
