This site has been created to promote the campaign for a plaque, or similar recognition, to Adam Telfer, Old Hemp, and the legacy of the Border Collie. By supporting this campaign, you will have contributed to a permanent symbol of respect and thanks, to the contribution made by Adam Telfer and Old Hemp to agriculture throughout the world.
Thanks to the generosity of our 10,000+ members on facebook, the dedication of the admins, and the work done by everyone in the team… we unveiled a memorial cairn and plaque in the village of West Woodburn, Northumberland (now known as the birthplace of Old Hemp) on Tuesday 8th September 2015.
We hope you enjoy this website and continue to share your stories and photos on our facebook page.
