Helensburgh Advertiser turns the spotlight on Lochside farmers’ tribute

The Lennox and Wilson families and that NHS sign at Shantron and Shemore.
A LOCH Lomondside farm has paid tribute to the brave workers of the National Health Service in an unconventional but inspiring way.
Sheep at Shemore Farm in Luss gathered in formation to spell out the letters ‘NHS’ in honour of those risking their lives for others during the coronavirus pandemic.

The farm is owned by Kay Wilson and her husband Dougie, while Kay’s parents Anne and Bobby Lennox run nearby Shantron Farm.
“It’s taken three days to get this right and it was our last attempt before these ewes come into the lambing shed today.”
Kay said: “It was my father’s idea. He said last week that he’d like to try something with the sheep. The sheep get fed every morning around the same time and there’s a trailer at the back of a quad bike which drops the food, so he’s a pro at it now and he worked out where he needed to be and dropped it down.
“It took us a couple of days to get the right viewpoint.
“It was a bit make or break, it had to work this time and it did, we were delighted.
“We are out every Thursday night clapping for the NHS but nobody can hear us up here, so this was our big nod to them.”
