Description

The Lost Flock is a story of one woman's determination to save a rare and ancient heritage breed of sheep. Jane Cooper's passion for knitting led her to discover the world of rare-breed sheep and their wool, and she soon found herself on a journey to uncover the history of the Orkney Boreray.

As she delved deeper into the world of these unique animals, Jane took a bold step to leave her quiet life behind and relocate to Orkney, where she became the sole custodian of the lost flock. Her investigation into the origins of the Boreray breed and its significance to Scotland's natural heritage is a fascinating and untold real-life detective story.

This book is a testament to the importance of preserving our natural heritage and the deep connection between humans and the land. With its unique blend of history, nature, and personal story, The Lost Flock is a compelling read for anyone interested in the natural world and the people who care for it.
