This is the best summary I could come up with:
Cammy Wilson, who led the rescue mission, said it was a risky one โ and that's why, despite past attempts by others, the sheep had been stuck for so long.
Photos show the sheep at the base of the cliff surrounded by steep rock on one side and water on the other.
On Saturday, Wilson had an exciting update for followers: He and four other men decided to attempt a rescue, using "heavy equipment," to bring Fiona up the slope of the cliff โ and they were successful.
After the rescue, Wilson said on Facebook the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was on site and it was determined the sheep would be brought to Dalscone Farm, a tourist attraction in Edinburgh with activities for children.
In a statement on Saturday to CBS News, Scottish SPCA said the group was notified of the rescue and attended to oversee the welfare of the sheep.
Before sending her to her new home, Wilson cut Fiona's overgrown wool to an inch, so she fits in with the other sheep at the farm, he said on Facebook.
