The Highland Coos (also known as heilan coos) are a tough breed, whose horns, unshorn coats and spectacular colours have firmly placed them in the hearts of those who visit Scotland. Alongside the Loch Ness Monster, many will visit the Highlands hoping to sneak a peek at these marvellous beasties.
However, despite their acclaimed fame they’re not as easy to find as may be hoped. To grab a picture to post on #coosday, you’ll have to plan a trip to find some Highland Coos because they cannot be readily found all over the Highlands.

So, where you can see a coo?
Glen Coe Glen Coe only has one pack of Highland Cows. As they roam free over the landscape, they may be hard to spot there!
Glamis Castle For those who did not know, Glamis Castle is the literary home of Shakespeare’s Macbeth (though the real life Macbeth could not have lived here as the castle was not around during his life). If you’ve come to see both Glamis Castle and Highland Cows, you can tick the two off in one go. Next to Glamis Castle carpark, there is a field of Highland Coos and calves. There you can take aesthetic photos of the coos and their windswept hair, with Glamis Castle towering in the background!

Trossachs Woollen Mill Once home to the oldest highland bull in the UK, Hamish, whose horns spanned over 1m wide, Trossachs Woollen Mill is still home to two other Highland Coos: Hamish Dhu and Honey. After seeing the coos, you can relax for a wee dram in Hamish’s Coffee Shop before going on your way.

Cairngorms Cairngorms National Park is an excellent place to spot a shaggy haired coo, adapted to walking the mountains in Cairngorms without a need for shelter. If you’re lucky, you’ll easily spot a fold in a field.
Tour You can also take a Land Rover Safari or Hairy Coo Tour through Rothiemurchus to visit coos, with experienced Rangers able to call the cattle to the fence for feeding and excellent photo opportunities.

Kincraig and Newtonmore In Cairngorms National Park, you may find cows in close proximity to the towns of Kincraig and Newtonmore, but in Kincraig itself you’ll find Highland Wildlife Park. You may not find a Highland Cow there, but there are plenty of other animals you can see from the comfort of your car as you drive around the estate.
