Farmer John Macpherson was lucky enough to have a VHS video camera in the 1980's and captured the last hand sheering/clipping on the Kinrara estate, now owned by brewing giants BrewDog. He explains how 800 sheep were clipped by 20 people and incredibly the money from the fleeces paid the shepherd's wages for the year. These days a fleece is worth just a few pence.
