Sheepherding in Scotland has a long history, not all of it pleasant. Many of the pastures in the Western Highlands where these sheep peer through a fence were created during the "clearances" of the late 1800s, when wealthy landowners seeking greater profits brutally evicted their tenants and converted their subsistence farmland to pasture.
Photo Tip: Photograph animals where they live. A favorite composition of photographer Michael Melford s is an environmental shot showing the animal surrounded by its habitat rather than the usual tight shot taken with a long lens.
