When you come across a highland cow for the first time you are taken back to a time when the clans ruled Scotland and domestic animals had to be able to survive the worse of weather, so they were hardy beasts - and now we just love them because they look so "Scottish". Click the pictures below for larger images and a bit of photoart.
