Young Shepherdess Inspires Us All - Estates That Educate

Hayley MacDonald aged 14 from Friockheim in Angus has been appointed as the first young ambassador for Estates that Educate, the rural education initiative run by Scotland’s regional moorland groups. From knowing almost nothing about farming or upland management Hayley has developed a passion for sheep farming, has two lambs of her own and has shared her enthusiasm with other children. Hayley MacDonald said: “I am thrilled to be a Young Ambassador for Estates That Educate and I look forward to helping in any way that I can. I love lambs and sheep and I think other children could also benefit from learning about the countryside around them.”
Soon after last year’s Estates that Educate day in the Angus Glens, Hayley visited Hunthill Estate, to help with shearing during the summer and returned this Easter to help with lambing.
