Blairgowrie: Highland Coo Experience at Bowland Trails｜United Kingdom

Enjoy a memorable encounter with Scotland’s iconic Highland cattle at Bowland Trails, just above Blairgowrie. This unique 1.5-hour experience is ideal for families and animal enthusiasts, offering hands-on interaction with a large fold of breeding Highlanders and their playful calves.

Your adventure begins with a personal tour in an all-terrain Kawasaki Mule buggy, ensuring easy access for all guests, including those with limited mobility. As you explore the high ground, your guide will introduce you to the herd, explaining the fascinating hierarchy, habits, and social bonds of these hardy native animals. Depending on the season, you might even witness a newborn calf’s first steps.

There are plenty of photo opportunities, whether you’re grooming a gentle giant or capturing the herd in the wild Scottish landscape. The experience is tailored for all ages (4+), with safety and comfort a priority throughout.
