A Scottish Highlander

This isn't a great picture, but the cow in it is called a Scottish Highlander and their faces look like shaggy sheep dogs, and they're really cute! But we were never able to get a close shot of any. They really are mainly in the highlands and the normal cow in the lowlands.

My Grandpa
Hey guys, Looks like you're having a great trip. I love all the pictures and captions. My grandfather, Gordon MacKay, was born in Scotland. My parents said you could see Edinburgh Castle from his front door. They stopped by his old house when they were there, but the owner was out doing errands. When they got home, they got a note from the current owner. Kind of neat. Enjoy the rest of your time abroad. Laurie
