Soay Sheep are Kid (and Grandkid) Friendly

Are Soay sheep and children compatible? You bet. Little kids are captivated by our tame little sheep. We've had lots of children mingle with our ewes and lambs and giggle with delight when the sheep nuzzle up for a handful of grain.

Whether you are a literal kid or still a kid at heart, you will find yourself at risk of frittering away whole summer afternoons watching the lambs frolic, and not just when they are tiny. They continue to play and covort around the Maternity Ward and beyond when they are weaned and sent to pasture. It's a hoot to watch them collapse for a nap after a particularly stirring romp.
