Oor Highland Coo

The inspiration for Oor Highland Coo came from Scotland's natural creatures - with the fuzzy highland cow being an iconic image of Scotland. He is covered from head to toe in different shades of ginger, blonde and ‘broon’ hair and the bucket features grass and thistles that resemble Oor Highland Coo’s natural pastures. Being the oldest breed of cow in the world, highland cows are part of Scotland’s long and rich history. And just like Oor Wullie these creatures are well known for their friendly nature even despite their fearsome horns.
