Popular tour questions #2 - will we see 'hairy coos'?

28th May 2026 - One of the most common questions we are asked is 'will we see hairy cows'?  The answer depends on which tour you choose but they are regularly seen on tour and our wonderful driver/guides know where they hide of course!

Highland Cattle are friendly beasts, bred for the harsh Scottish weather and rough Highland terrain.  They are the world's oldest registered cattle breed, instantly recognisable by their shaggy (hairy) coats, eye-catching horns and overall cuteness.  They can be various colours but are often red/ginger which makes them look very Scottish indeed!

If you want 'Guaranteed Hairy Coos' then join us on Tour 4 - The Best of Scotland in a Day.  We will stop and say hello in Perthshire.  Failing that you'll probably encounter them on other tours but like all animals they can move around a bit...
