Morning checks on the Highland coos. All after a morning treat. Was a scuffle to get my attention. Teddy likes to be fed his from the scoop. Teddy and Rhona are defo the most vocal of the pack. I wasn't getting past without stopping today. They made sure of it.

Frosty start to our day. 🥶❄️ cannot beat these cold and crisp morning's. Had to take a hammer to the water this morning. Wee shona's coat showing how cold it was. They will be thankful for their thick coats at this time of year.

HAPPY FRIDAY FROM ROBIN

It's a chilly one this morning 🥶
I'm sure Max and the rest or the clan won't be feeling it with their thick coats to keep them cosy over the winter months.

Some of you may have noticed that Max only has one horn. This hasn't always been the case for him but there was an incident involving a gate and his horn and unfortunately he lost his horn. It doesn't affect him in anyway and is still very handsome with just the one and infact makes him very unique 😍😄

Charlestown Harbour was established in the 18th century as part of a planned village by Charles Bruce, the 5th Earl of Elgin. It served as a vital shipping point for coal and lime produced from local quarries, with its lime kilns being among the largest in Scotland, historically producing a third of the nation's lime. The harbour was expanded in the mid-1800s and later became known for ship-breaking activities after World War I. Today, it features restored lime kilns and offers insights into its industrial past.
