Herding sheep at Ballitarsin, Isle of Islay

Plenty of sheep on Islay and sometimes they need to be herded, here two farmers on their quadbikes with their dog are collecting them from a field at Ballitarsin.

I’m not entirely sure who it belonged to, I think it was one of the guides/helpers during the Islay walking week excursion to Colonsay in April 2019. This sheepdog decided to take a dip in one of the rock pools at the northern end of Kiloran Bay, just outside the caves we visited here.
