A MUSEUM in Scotland has welcomed its first purebred baby Highland cows.
Maisie and Ishbel were born at the National Museum of Rural Life, in East Kilbride.
They can be visited at the Museum's historic working farm alongside their mums Ceo and Airgead, dad Lewis, rare-breed Tamworth pigs, this year’s new lambs, hens and cockerel Russell.
Visitors can also see Anna and Gina, the museum’s two Clydesdale horses, and can enjoy watching the milking of the Ayrshire dairy herd at 3.15pm each afternoon.
Visitors to the National Museum of Rural Life can also explore the museum building, with galleries that reveal the story of Scotland’s rural past.
The museum is open seven days a week, from 10am until 5pm, and tickets are valid for unlimited visits for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Tickets can be booked online at nms.ac.uk/rural-life.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
