John Barrington was a shepherd to over 750 Blackface ewes who graze
2,000 acres of some of Britain’s most beautiful hills overlooking
the deep dark water of Loch Katrine. The yearly round of lambing,
dipping, shearing and the sales is marvelously interwoven into the
story of the glen, of Rob Roy in whose house John lived, of curling
when the ice is thick enough, and of sheep dog trials in the
summer. Whether up on the hills or along the glen, John knows the
haunts of the local wildlife: the wily hill fox, the grunting
badger, the herds of red deer, and the shrews, voles and insects
which scurry underfoot. He sets his seasonal clock by the passage
of birds on the loch, and jealously guards over the golden
eagle’s eyrie in the hills. Paul Armstrong’s sensitive
illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to the evocative text.
