Highlanders

Paperback edition, published in English by a French publisher, 2000. Highlanders are the world's oldest breeds of cattle. They reside in the rugged hills of the Scottish Highlands and the Western Isles. They fit well into this landscape because these beasts have a wild, untamed appearance. "Even today the precise origin of these primitive, almost mammoth like creatures remains a mystery." Some historians feel they were introduced to Britain 5,000 years ago. This gorgeous book features superb full-color photos by Laurie Campbell with a text by Alan Edwards. 50 pages in all, a most attractive book; these beasts are unusual, to say the least.
