UoK, the 'University of Kilchoan', has just completed another hugely successful course, pulling in students of all ages from secondary school through to senior citizen, and from across Scotland, for a practical sheep-shearing course.
The course took place over two days at the sheds at Caim. Organised by UoK Vice-Chancellor Pat Glenday, it was run by Lochaber College and the British Wool Marketing Board.
As with every course, external assessors, with years of expertise between them, were on hand to ensure that the standards reached the high levels expected at UoK.
"It was a hugely enjoyable, if rather demanding course for all concerned," commented one student. "My arms are going to be black and blue for a week or more, but I'm rather afraid that some of the sheep may have been traumatised by the experience."
While some of the participants had prior experience, others were first-timers.
Such is the renown of Kilchoan's university that one student travelled all the way from Dundee to take part.
