A flock of feral white goats, descendants of Viking-era settlers' animals, graze upon a bracken-covered hillside with an air of regal nonchalance. These majestic creatures effortlessly blend into their stunning surroundings, showcasing nature's artistry at its finest. As if straight out of a mythical tale, these wild and untamed caprine beauties roam freely across the rugged terrain. With each nibble on the lush greenery, they seem to embody both grace and resilience – true survivors in this remote corner of Scotland. Their presence is a testament to the indomitable spirit that runs through their Viking lineage. Legend has it that these goats were brought here by seafaring warriors from distant lands centuries ago. Now, they have made this enchanting island their home and continue to thrive against all odds. Captured by FLPA photographer David Hosking, this print serves as a window into an ancient world where history intertwines with nature's wonders. It invites us to marvel at the enduring legacy left behind by those intrepid Vikings who once set foot on these shores.
