our hebridean sheep

Sunhill 'Cnoc na Grèine' is a family run croft on the Isle of Berneray in the Outer Hebrides.

On our croft we rear Hebridean sheep, a primitive Norse breed brought to the islands by the Vikings. The meat is dark red with little fat and exhibits a texture and flavour more akin to that of delicate wild game than commercial fat lamb.

Our sustainable whole-sheep-plan ensures the best in animal husbandry and consideration of our beautiful island ecology.
