The ewe had been stranded for more than two years at the foot of cliffs close to the Cromarty Firth before being winched to safety by a group of farmers on Saturday. She has since been sheared and is eating and drinking well.

'Britain's loneliest sheep' is settling into her new home after a daring rescue and is said to be doing 'absolutely phenomenal'. The ewe, named Fiona, had been stranded for more than two years on her own at the foot of cliffs close to the Cromarty Firth before being winched to safety by a group of farmers on Saturday. She is now in the care of Dalscone Farm Fun in Dumfries.

Farmer Ben said Fiona appears to be around three-years-old and has managed to survive 'all by herself' by taking shelter in a cave. He said: 'It's amazing she's even still here. 'The fleece she had on her was massive. She must have stayed inside all the time when it was raining. Because if it started raining and that fleece got soaking, she would be immobile. 'She would be immobile, she would lie down, she would get pneumonia and she wouldn't have made it.
