Highland Cow In Winter Rain On History Visit To Perthshire Highlands Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Winter travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a brown Highland cow in Winter rain weather on visit and trip to the Perthshire Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. The highland breed of cattle has a long and distinguished ancestry, not only in its homeland of western Scotland, but also in many far flung parts of the world. One of Britain's oldest, most distinctive, and best known iconic breeds, with a long, thick, flowing coat of rich hair and majestic sweeping horns, the Highlander has remained largely unchanged over the centuries. Highland cattle were first mentioned in the 6th century AD, and were descended from longhorn cattle brought to Britain by farmers of the late Stone Age. The breed standard for Highland cattle was created in 1885. Breeding stock has been exported to many other continents beginning in the 1900s, including Australia and North America. Highland Cattle or Heilan Coo in Scots, comes from the Gaelic translation of Ghaidhealach. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February.
