Shetland sheep hiding from the elements

We arrived!  Rainy and windy...so windy we almost didn't make it from the plane into the airport.  On the ride to Glen Orchy House, where we are staying we saw sheep - Shetland Sheep!  These sheep are out 365 days a year to fend for themselves.  In the rain the hide behind stone walls or whatever they find to provide a little shelter.  The airport in Sumburgh is at the southern most tip of the island...Lerwick is about a third of the way north.
