It has been announced tonight that the Army is to withdraw completely from St
Kilda. This is bound to have an effect both on the Soay sheep on the island and
on their observation by scientists. On the one hand the sheep will have less
human contact, but on the other, without the Army helicopters and back-up,
scientific access and observation will surely be more difficult.
