They are adorable. Having met several in person, I can attest to their adorable and gentle personalities, too -- at least those of the cows.

To answe...Thank you, all for such lovely comments. To answer Sharon's question - I take photos of signs because I think they convey such a sense of the place - not just the pictorial signs, but also street names, signs for the Post Office etc. to illustrate the language. So I was spoilt for choice in selecting ones to show here. I rely on buying postcards for views, but I like to get my camera out for the less obvious holiday shots I suppose the nearest we have to them in Britain are pub signs, but I cannot say I have come across many striking ones in Scotland.
