Yes, more cute “coo.” I know, not my usual subject. But these “hairy coos” are a big deal in Scotland, and they really are striking and marvelous creatures — especially if you come across one or more in a pasture on a foggy or rainy day. It is hard to imagine many other things that feel more like the Scottish highlands.
Photographing this young “coo” was nothing like that, though. As we drove north from the Portree area to start a trip around the upper Isle of Skye, we came across a small herd right by the roadway. (I later heard that this group is pretty well known and even recommended in tour guides.) The group was right next to the fence along the road, so it was a perfect opportunity to make a few phtographs.
