I though it was only down in the south -down my way.

Didn't realise that the restrictions were on up there also.

If you look on the Defra website it says that they may issue general license's for within holding movements and crossing public roads using strict biosecurity on 23rd August. If there are no new cases of foot and mouth movement restrictions could be lifted by 8th September. As for the hill sheep roaming i assume you are talking about the ones in Sutherland, i don't think it would be possible to stop them due to the lack of fences.
