This postcard of Scottish Blackface Sheep in the Highlands of Scotland was mailed in 1906--106 years ago.
And here's a modern look at some of their descendants, from the breed association webpage linked above.

It's nice to know some things don't change a lot through time.

I was thinking Argyle, but definitely socks.

Why, those are Scottish Blackface, of course. Why? Because they're not in Scotland? They've probably got tourist visas. :D

I like all things sheepy--thanks for posting the pictures. The sheep in the bottom photo look like they're wearing knee socks. Cute!
