Just saying.
Hard to believe that my trip to Scotland was two years ago now, but I do have a question for you Jock. While riding around on a tour bus, we saw a lot of sheep, too many to estimate their number, (but not as many as I have seen elsewhere,) yet we were told by the guide that the wool used in the mills there comes not from Scotland but from New Zealand. Is this true? If so, why? Different sheep? Different climate?
Thanks,
