SOAY SHEEP
Protecting an ancient rare breed
about us
Soay sheep are thought to be one of the oldest breed of sheep in the world, thought to have been brought to Scotland by the Vikings. The name "Soay" derives from the Old Norse word "Seyooy" or scottish gaelic "Soaigh".
The breed was originally confined to the island of Soay (which translates to "sheep island"), then the sheep were moved to Hirta in the St Kildan archipelago, off the west coast of Scotland. They are considered descendants of a short tailed sheep that existed in the British Isles as long ago as the Neolithic Age - some 4000 years ago.
At Soay Flock Scotland, we are immensely proud of our small, sustainable farm, where our Soay and Hebridean sheep are born and raised in beautiful open surroundings. Here, they thrive naturally, rewarding us with superb-quality wool, the rhythm of spring lambing, and the simple joy of their company.
We are dedicated to protecting and promoting these RBST Watchlist, from 2026 categorised as an "endangered" breed, offering carefully selected animals to responsible breeders who share our commitment to their welfare and their future.
