WOULD ewe believe it? A Scots woman is a world record holder in sheep shearing after she sheared 517 in nine hours - smashing the previous record by 59 sheep.
Una Cameron, 51, from St Boswells in the Borders, has been working as a professional sheep shearer on the world circuit for 28 years.
And she has now beaten the previous women's solo strongwool ewe record set in February by Sacha Bond, who sheared 458 ewes in the same time slot in New Zealand.
Una took on the challenge at the farm of British Wool ambassador and world record holder Matt Smith in Cornwall and took just four breaks.
