How to look after 150 reindeer

In the Scottish Highlands you’ll find a large herd of reindeer roaming the Cairngorms National Park. They are the only free-ranging herd in the UK, and every single one has a name – including Camembert, Spider and Busby. The reindeer are looked after by Tilly Smith who went to spend the summer working there back in 1981… and never left! Now Tilly’s daughter Fiona joins her on the mountainside.
