A wonderful day yesterday meeting the beautiful and super friendly Highland Cattle at @maolfold.bsky.social, watching the seals in Lamlash bay and finishing with an evening swim in Whiting Bay. #Arran #Holidays #Travel #Photography #TravelPhotography Https://www.arranlets.com/swimming

Meeting and brushing the gentle and friendly Highland Cattle at Maol Fold near Machrie. This beauty doesn't have a name yet. Ideas?

Future of the flock.
Last years ewe lambs have grown great, will get shorn in next few weeks.
