A Highland cow, also known as a Highland cattle, is a distinctive breed of cattle originating from the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides. They are easily recognizable for their long, shaggy coats, which can be red, black, yellow, dun, silver, or white, and for their long, curved horns. The thick coat allows them to survive harsh, cold, and wet climates, which are typical of the Scottish Highlands.

Highland cows are known for their docile and calm temperament, making them relatively easy to handle despite their imposing horns. They are a hardy breed, able to graze on rough terrain and poor-quality vegetation that other cattle might find unsuitable. This adaptability makes them particularly valuable in challenging environments.

In addition to their striking appearance, Highland cows are prized for their meat, which is lean, tender, and flavorful due to the slow growth of the animals in natural grazing conditions. They are often used in conservation grazing because their grazing habits help maintain biodiversity in certain landscapes.

Highland cows have become iconic symbols of Scotland due to their unique appearance and historical association with the Highlands. Their long hair and gentle expression often make them a favorite subject for photography and tourism in rural Scottish areas.
