A 14-year-old is training to become a shepherdess - and saved up to buy two lambs. Hayley MacDonald lives in Friockheim, Angus, with her brother Kai, 12, and foster carers Alison Yates, 59, and husband Ron, 55.
The siblings had never seen a squirrel until they moved to the small village four years ago. Hayley is shy and doesn't enjoy school but joined a course last year, Estates that Educate, and found a passion for sheep by working at the Hunthill Estate.
She got a part-time job with Dundee United to pay for two blackface lambs of her own - named Bonnie and Blossom - and is now hand-rearing them. Hayley gets up at 6.30am to feed them and is hoping to get another two to create a mini flock.
