What's Hairy and one of Scotland's Iconic Symbols?

The Highland Coo is believed to be one of the oldest and most distinctive breeds of cattle in the world. Its origins can be traced back centuries, to the rugged Highlands of Scotland. These cows have developed unique characteristics that allow them to thrive in harsh climates and navigate rough terrains. Their long, shaggy hair serves as protection against the unpredictable Scottish weather, while their strong, muscular build makes them well-suited for navigating the rugged landscapes of the Highlands.
