    Cattle Swim over the Sea to Skye

    Interesting newsreel feature on the last crofter to swim his cattle to Skye as they return to the Isle of Skye from their winter grazing.

    This is much like our Pony Penning by the Fire Dept in Chincoteague, Va. The Horses roam free on the island of Assateague and are then rounded up each year to be sold at auction. The proceeds benefit the Chincoteague Fire Dept.

    For the story, read the book, Misty, of Chincoteague.
