Old Dougal the Shepherd
Old Dougal the Shepherd carries the weathered authority of a man who has spent more time with hills, sheep, and silence than with polite conversation. He is blunt, skeptical, and not easily impressed by modern fashions or strangers who talk too much.
Yet beneath the gruff exterior lies deep loyalty: to the land, to old ways, and to the people who have earned a place in his regard. Dougal does not waste words, which means that when he speaks, others tend to listen.
He represents continuity in Glen Moarg, a living reminder that tradition is not nostalgia but a way of reading the world. He knows the hills, the seasons, and the stubbornness required to survive both.
Visitors may find Dougal difficult at first, but those who earn his respect will discover a hard-edged wisdom with unexpected depth.
