Popular museum near Glasgow welcomes two baby Highland cows

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.
