These are everywhere on Shetland. I laughed at it like “Haha! Look at these stupid sheep! Can’t cross that small part?”

Then I walked across one myself. I was humbled and reminded that I’m not that much more intelligent than a sheep.

We have them everywhere rural, even across regional highways, here in Norway. Hell, there's even one across the road to my local airport.

It's an effective way of keeping cattle and sheep in an area even if said area is intersected by a road.
