Highland Games 2011 - Part Four

At about this point in the day LibraryDiva was literally bouncing up and down and demanding to "go and see the Coo!"
 
The Highland Coo.

Highlands are known as a hardy breed due to the rugged nature of their native Scottish Highlands, with high rainfall and strong winds.  Their hair provides protection during the cold winters and their skill in browsing for food enables them to survive in steep mountain areas. They both graze and browse and eat plants which many other cattle avoid.

This one is named Scarlett. 

 And another shot of the crowd.
But this time they are downwind from the Coo.
A convenient place to leave the kids while Mom and Dad wait in the beer line.
And feel each other up in public.
Happened a lot.
Seriously.




Oh look, it's LibraryDiva.  Right in the middle of my picture.
Yeah, it was at this point that she decided that she needed to be in more of the pictures.
So...

...she made sure she was.

 Ah, Clan Buchanan.
They have one of the the most easy to recognize tartans.
It's bright yellow, bright red, and black.
