Fiona the ‘Loneliest Sheep’ Thriving at New Farm Home After Protesters Objected to Moving Her

Britain's 'loneliest sheep' has been moved to a farm after spending at least two years stranded at the foot of a cliff in Scotland.

Fiona was first spotted in the Scottish Highlands two years ago by Jillian Turner, who took a photo of the sheep while she was kayaking. When she returned recently, she was shocked that Fiona was still there.

The story of Fiona, Britain's 'loneliest sheep,' gained attention around the UK and an online petition to rescue her attracted thousands of signatures.

There was also a "peaceful, non-violent demonstration" over concerns that Fiona may be treated like a "spectacle" if she was moved to a farm, per the Guardian.

As speculation grew over what would happen to Fiona, Cammy Wilson, a sheep shearer from Ayrshire, decided to take action and get the lonely sheep to her new home.

On Saturday, Wilson and four other farmers were able to use some "heavy equipment" to get Fiona up " an incredibly steep slope." In a video on Facebook, Wilson said that the sheep was in "incredible condition."

Fiona was taken to Dalscone Farm on Sunday and Ben Best, a farmer, told the BBC that she had "settled in brilliantly."

An image posted to Facebook showed Fiona after her mottled wool was sheared off.

Best said that any concerns about Fiona's well-being are unfounded, as their treatment of animals is "absolutely five-star."

"Everything is transparent what we do - we are known worldwide for our animal care," he said.
