Now, I looked for an ass, but there were none to be found — no doubt they were all sensibly hunkering in a stable somewhere. I knew where I could reliably find an ox, though. This is Hamish, and at all times of the year he can be seen outside Kilmahog woollen mill. Hamish is probably the most photographed coo in Scotland, and he has become an attraction in his own right. During the Summer months, when we drive past him on our way to the Highlands, he is generally surrounded by a busload of adoring tourist buddies, feeding him apples and marveling at his horn span. And no wonder – for what a handsome, impassive beast he is!
