Sheepdog Show with a difference, Aberfoyle

The Sheepdog Trial with a difference, at Aberfoyle

First the rather elderly star of the show. Don't be decieved by his appearance this is one smart dog.

What has these ducks in such a stramash?

Oh! Now I see!

He and his lovely assistant are herding the ducks and puting them over and through the obstacles

Now the last obstacle. Through the tunnel and heading for the finish line

Carefully! Don't let them split up!

With the final result that all the ducks are contained

A Black labrador in the snow

Do labradors like the snnow? I think we can safely say, Yes!

Ornithology & Country Pursuits

There are obstacles to overcome but they have always been there

Try not to disturb the local fisher folk


Listen to the gentle buzz of the local workers


Our Security guard is always on the look-out for trouble and the occasional rabbit


You are guaranteed a good hearty breakfast before going out on the hills, if you can cook it


Our game warden is always happy to escort you on a guided tour, if you can keep up.


Unfortunately, he cannot walk on water, but he knows someone who can


If you are lucky you may even see the changing of the guards


If you want that cooked breakfast, you need to talk to our supplier


You will see other visitors in the summer but they are quite shy


You may need a warm coat for the winter, check with the locals.


Our crowd control expert works from an aerial position


You will come across the local harriers but they'll be past you in a flash

Some of our locals seem to see things only in black and white

While some might make you thirsty

Others are too busy showing off

Enjoy the company you find, tread lightly and take away only memories!
