From J. N. Dransfield's A History of tJte Parish of 

 Penistone. In the Faroe Islands is, or until recently was, 

 a wild race of sheep of great antiquity; they are covered with 

 black, short, curled wool, and their flesh has a peculiarly dark 

 appearance and venison-like flavour. In 1821 Trevelyan 

 visited the island and found the remnants of this wild race in 

 no way dependent on or under the control of man. They are 

 sometimes caught by dogs, but can seldom be obtained 

 except by being shot or intercepted in a narrow space and 

 driven over the cliffs.
