Britain’s loneliest sheep ‘Fiona’ rescued after two years stuck on cliff
A sheep described as the loneliest in Britain has been rescued after spending over two years stranded at the bottom of a cliff in the Scottish Highlands.
‘Fiona’ was pulled back up the steep slope by a team of five farmers.
The rescue team volunteered to help after Fiona’s owner was unable to reach her.
The isolation doesn’t seem to have impacted her health after receiving a trim and vet check.
“We have all been absolutely blown away by how stress-free she is, how natural she feels around us - she feels completely comfortable,” The Hoof GP Graeme Barker said.

Fiona: Bugger, I was just beginning to relax and enjoy myself when these clowns came along and buggered it all up. Farmers: Looka me mum, we did good huh, huh.

Those farmers are the best people on youtube. Hoof GP and The Sheep game. Best youtube channels ever.
No dithering, no algorithms to muddle through, no finagling government-obstructing decisions to be pondered, just good old-fashioned brute MAN-force with determination and basic equipment saved the day. THANK YOU!

And F to the animal rights bozos who did nothing to rescue Fiona and are now making demands.
The animal rights activists are hanging around the place that will take care of her, they ought to be ashamed of themselves, this sheep has been rescued & will be looked after like a queen for the rest of her life in a wonderful place, & yet they are still carrying on. 😡 There are other animals out there that need there so called help, go away and find other people to bother, not these people that are actually doing the right thing out of the goodness of their hearts. ❤️

The farmer has been trying to get her out, hes consulted with a number of agencies including the Royal Airforce who all advised it was too dangerous. These guys stepped up for poor Fiona. Fortunately she hadn’t lost condition, according to the video The Sheep Game put out she was actually rather chubby under her overgrown wool

@@platedlizard yes. I was impressed with these men for rescuing her. I was thinking how lonely she had been. Do sheep feel lonely? Maybe she was pleased she didn’t have to share her grazing area?
Aw I'm so glad they rescued her! What kind souls!
Awe, I love her.
I’ve always loved sheep, these farmers made me very very happy, this poor girls long days and lonely nights are over.🤗
Best report and footage to date. Fiona was rescued : 1. When she ran alongside a kayaker. 2. When others refused to help. Then the lads saved her.🎉
Bless your hearts, Boys! Cheers to Fiona! 🥰💖💞
She’s a wee sweetheart I’m so glad she was saved
How wonderful. What a beautiful and tough sheep, surviving so long. Good job humans.
Well done, boys 👍 🐑

How lovely. Dalscone Farm is a wonderful farm owned by the Best family. The love and care they give to each and every animal is top notch! Fiona will be loved and well cared for throughout the rest of her life!
Well done Cammy and team

شكرا للفريق الذي انقذ فيونا
They spelled Graeme’s name wrong. I’m pretty sure it’s Parker not Barker.
Awe god bless her 🙏 lovely story of her rescue 🐑💞
The rescuers are heros❤But how do they know she lives alone for two years?? Could be more or less, isn't it?? Fiona looked amazing after the wool cut..
That's hilarious she was being dragged up a whole cliff and still managed to eat on the way
Bet she felt great after all that wool removed
can people visit the farm where she's going to? top of my list when I visit Scotland. Wee soul.
AAAAAAAYYYYYE!!!!!! Shout out to the hoof gp!!! I'm in such a good mood now
Amazing.❤❤❤❤❤

She wasn’t supposed to be wild, sheep are domestic animals. She can roam whenever, she’s just now safe and can gave her wool kept at a healthy state.
Great to see ewe also got a haircut, Fiona.
Beautiful best story in a long time thanks to the 5 champion farmers free beers to them
Oh hey! That’s the Hoof GP!
I doubt the sheep even gave it a 2nd thought

From being free on a peaceful hill by the sea ,too a stinky old field surrounded by fence and frisky sheep

Sheep are domestic, they aren’t supposed to be wild. They also live in flocks and have wool that grows continuously, which can affect health if left untouched.
Aw....🥰

I thought Graeme's last name was Parker? They have it as Barker at 1:45
Fiona achieved samadhi during her retreat.
She would not have been alone for so long if it was in Wales 🤪🤣🤣
Nice story but a lot of incorrect facts! He's Graham Parker, not Barker and he's not a farmer so "5 farmers" is incorrect. Also the voice over says "3 years" and your graphic says "2 years". This shouldn't be that hard a story to cover correctly.
Now we just need to find Shrek. 🤣
Now let's enjoy her in a lovely roast dinner! xD
Why did it take two years
@Amytadeo - Mo in Italiana 55 Manchester is the requested sheep for slautgher.
UPDATE PLEASE❤
Graeme PARKER, not Parker. @thehoofgp
Well cherpy burpy cheap sheep 😂 introduce Fiona to Kris the unhappy sheep 🐑
She said three years, Sky says two...
why could mountain rescue not do that ? we have the ropes and gear as does the fire and coastguard services. Helicopters? The work of all emergency teams , professional or volunteer is save live, human or animal ?

Remote island, she was spotted in 2021 by a passing kayaker who notified the farmer & welfare groups. After a few attempts to find & rescue her by the farmer & welfare groups all failed to locate her. It was believed she had either died or made her way back up the cliff. She wasn't seen again until September 2023 which prompted the latest attempt to find her. This time they got lucky we now know she was sheltering in a cave probably why the other attempt's failed to find her when they looked.
And still , exploiting her. EVIL

Nope, she gets to live safely and her wool can be kept at a safe level. Her wool can also be used to create clothing or other things.
Fiona is such a lovely name. How ironic that resources are used to place this animal in better, safer conditions, while citizens die in the loneliness of poverty or addiction. Truly, it's better to be a Hamas terrorist, with dozens of protests shielding you, than a law-abiding human being.
sheep was thinking just leave me thats why i am bleeding here i am lonely i live in uk i need a sheepskin coat
Sure that concret box they placed her is better than the piece of heaven she had been used to... 😢 Humans have this weird thing of always " knowing" what is best for others....... 😮🥵🤐🙄😴🥴

Cause she’s a domestic animal and sheep don’t usually spend time alone very often, they aren’t really meant to be solitary.
Maybe she liked being alone
What the hell is he saying?
She was in her best place, until we helped. Prolly planned to roll over the edge, when it was her time, then she would have been valuable carrion to the wildlife, but we denied them their food also. Hopefully she's not incinerated. Be better to put her down and make pet food.
