When we arrived at the area where everyone parks for training, we couldn't believe our eyes. Several hundred feet above us and about 600 yards away a dog was working a group of Scottish blackface back and forth across the face of a steep brae, amidst the bracken and heather.
You may be able to see the tiny speck of white mid-way up the hill on the right, just below where the dark green foliage ends near the top of the brae. That's the sheep. Although it doesn't look it in this picture, the hill is so steep I got a crick in my neck looking up to watch the dogs work.
We were a bit terrified (can you be 'a bit' terrified?) to send our dogs, as the ground was very rough and incredibly steep.
This gives you an idea of the slope...
The view from the handler's perspective...can you see the sheep? That's Dyna working those sheep up there!
Send her again? Really?

A few more days in the Borders, a trip to Edinburgh, and then it will be North to the World Trial!
