📌 Aberfoyle, Stirling
★★
The Scottish Wool Centre in Aberfoyle is mostly just a rather large shop, but during the summer there are also low key but entertaining livestock demonstrations. If you happen to be visiting the village at the right time, they’re well worth hoofing it across the road to; the demonstrations are also free, as presumably the staff are looking to fleece you in the shop instead. The Gathering – as the show was called on our visit – features Indian runner ducks being herded around various obstacles by sheepdogs. As might be expected for a wool centre, there are also a variety of different breeds of sheep to lock horns with, as well as goats, horses, hens and doves.
