SOAY
Sheep on the Island at
the Edge of the World
22
minutes packed with pictures and facts about the oldest type of sheep in the world and the
remote, stunningly beautiful North Atlantic islands they come from – St Kilda.
Soay
sheep date back to the late Neolithic Period, the time when man first started to tend
plants and keep animals. Today these
fascinating animals are providing scientists with fresh insights into the on-going
operation of Darwinian natural selection and evolutionary genetics.
St
Kilda is one of only twenty-four places in the world designated a World Heritage Site
twice over – as a Site of Outstanding Historic Importance and as A Nature Reserve of
World Stature.
Directed
and written by winner of many international programme awards – Michael Darlow.
available in both NTSC (US) and PAL
(UK) formats
