THE CHEVIOT
A breed local to Aero, originated in the Cheviot Hills as long ago as the 14th Century. It's a large, rugged breed with a heavy fleece that thrives in bleak, windswept conditions due to their strong constitution.
To this day Cheviots graze in the hills overlooking Galashiels, the home of Aero. The town itself was built around the Cheviot wool trade, a Mill Lade still links the town to the rear of the Aero Building, it's self a former Woollen Mill
