	Every year since 2007, in April, a farmer in West Lothian dyes all his sheep red. They graze on an an area called The Pyramids, adjacent to the M8 near Livingston. It is quite surreal when driving past. Last time I spotted them, it was late April/early May and they had faded to a bright pink! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/6521149.stm

	AnnCardiff - well put, I for one am very wary of which members of the flock I follow, we live and learn by the old maxim - once bitten twice shy ;-)
	Researching: I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

	me neither - I realise that some who have followed the flock on these boards have ended up in despair, but with the help of fellow members, they manage to triumph over that despair and learn to live again - happy, but wary of the fact that there are those who dress in sheep's clothing but are really wolves underneath - we aim to act as a warning to those who may fall into the trap

	I don't mind being seen as one who blindly follows a flock if that's the worse thing I could be accused of doing ;-)

	They aren't the only living things that blindly follow the flock though.
