The Orkney Sheep Foundation

About

The Orkney Sheep Foundation is set up to support the keeping of native North Ronaldsay sheep on the foreshore of the island of North Ronaldsay. A significant burden for the island sheep keepers is the maintenance of the grade 1 listed sheep dyke, that keeps the sheep on the foreshore and away from the farmland. The OSF organises the annual Sheep Festival, when volunteers visit the island to help rebuild the dyke. It also consults for foundation repairs that are beyond the scope of the festival.
