Tour Scotland travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Highland Cows by a road on visit to Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands. 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 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. This famous Scottish Glen was the site the of the famous Massacre of Glencoe which began simultaneously in three settlements along the glen at Invercoe, Inverrigan, and Achnacon, although the killing took place all over the glen as fleeing MacDonalds were pursued. 38 MacDonalds from the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by Campbell guests who had accepted their hospitality. This Highland location featured a lot in Skyfall the James Bond movie, mainly because it is the most famous Scottish glen and one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world, it also featured in Highlander, Rob Roy, Braveheart and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
