Och aye the coo! Edinburgh Zoo welcomes Highland cows
Posted 20 Oct 2025 in Edinburgh Zoo

Edinburgh Zoo has welcomed two new residents, an adorable pair of Highland cows. The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) is asking for help to name the new arrivals, with the public able to vote in a social media poll.
Four pairs of names, all with links to Scotland, have been chosen by the wildlife conservation charity’s keepers - Heather and Bracken, Nessie and Thistle, Skye and Isla or Selkie and Kelpie.
