On 364 days of the year this is a quiet village of 1, 046 people

On 364 days of the year this is a quiet village of 1, 046 people. The only excitement is the catching of a large salmon or the weekly visit of a mobile cinema. But once a year the lambs come to town and Lairg wakes up. The lambs come down from the Sutherland hills - 27, 000 of them have come down for todays sale, the biggest one-day lamb sale in the country. Farmers and buyers from all over Scotland and the Border country attend.
