{"id":"36ikljql","organisation":"gqy76xps","title":"🐮 PRIVATE Highland Cow Experience","description":"

Looking for a truly Scottish moment to remember? Step into the peaceful beauty of Glen Nevis for a private encounter with our iconic Highland Cattle. You’ll join one of our experienced herders for a 45 minute relaxed visit to the field, where you’ll meet a few members of our herd and learn what life’s like for these shaggy beasts. Plenty of time to ask questions, take photos, and simply enjoy the company of our Highland locals. Best of all, the proceeds from your booking go directly towards our ongoing nature restoration work in Glen Nevis.

Our experiences are very popular so please book in advance to save disappointment.

\nPlease dress for classic Highland weather – waterproofs and sturdy shoes recommended\n
\nMidges can appear on warm, still days – a bit of repellent goes a long way!\n

\nSorry, no dogs allowed, as we’ll be close to livestock\n

Please be aware, a 'safe distance' will always need to be maintained between you and the cows. The 'safe distance' varies from cow-to-cow and from day-to-day. Our experienced rangers will guide you in how close you can safely get on your experience. Sorry, you cannot 'hug a cow'.
