The Highland cow is one of Scotland’s most recognisable native breeds, with records of their presence dating back to the 6th century. Known for their long horns and thick, shaggy coats, they are well adapted to the harsh weather of the Highlands and islands.

There is something so captivating about Highland Coos, and it’s been a joy to photograph them over the years whenever I can. I first encountered them during a family trip on the Isle of Skye and ever since have been in love, adventuring for them on all my Scottish expeditions - even in Switzerland 2800m up!
