I'd heard the reason that became a thing is because stealing sheep was punishable by death, but if you were caught "just trying to fuck it" you'd escape the worst sentencing.
EDIT: I don't know why the stereotype changes from Welsh to Scottish in some non-British countries, but I assume ignorance plays a role (Wales is a country? I thought that was just 'west' England!)
Don't know about that but football fans once chanted to the opposing team that one of their team mates was shagging all their wives so not out of the realms of reality lol
lol, is that a thing?
Aberdeen in Scotland, Wales, and New Zealand all get this.

It's easier to lift a kilt?
Probably but given the population of Wales to sheep was going to happen
Think only country that beats them there might be New Zealand but the Welsh are the original sheep shaggers lol
I don't mean if it actually happens, but if they are called that during football matches.

To be fair, he HAD been shagging his team mates wife iirc, just the name that escapes me
Yeah, it's banter. I think it stems from when fucking a sheep carried a fine but stealing one carried the death penalty
