Highland Cow Fact File

Where do Highland cows live?

Highland cows are one of Scotland's native species, originally from the Highlands, but now spread throughout the country!

And they didn't stop there- Highland cows have been exported to many other countries including Australia, Canada, Austria, Denmark, and more!


These hardy animals are usually found in herds across grasslands or mountainous regions and are adapted to withstand the harsh weather conditions common to the Scottish Highlands.
