Today I got to meet Hamish, the famous Highland Cow who lives in a field next to the Trossachs Woollen Mill just outside Callander.

The shop was selling little snack bags of raw carrots and potatoes to feed him — how could I resist?! He was really gentle about taking the food out of my hand, so I can kinda forgive him for drooling all over me. Although I didn’t notice it at the time, a friend noticed that in this pic, he’s got crazy eyes!

He was lovely, really. I’m not even ashamed to admit I’ve bought a Hamish wall poster that will soon be put up on the wall to the left of my desk at home! LOL
