Highland cattle are an old breed. Shaggy. See Highland cattle at http://www.blueoxfarms.com/Scottish%20Highland%20Cattle/scottish_highland_cattle
The Queen maintains a herd at Balmoral, some 40 "breeding cows and followers," see Country Life magazine, a venerable London weekly dating from Victoria's time, August 15, 2012 issue. They are usually reddish in color, but some are a tan-dun, or black, or even white, or a mix -- brindle. Its meat has less cholesterol than pork, lamb and chicken, says the article, In Praise of the Ruddy Highlanders, by Tessa Waugh, in that issue.
There are herds of Highland Cattle now in the United States. Find them in the Poconos even.
Among other now-considered-exotic breeds are the Belted Galloways, with the belly stripe, black and white. Oreo cattle. See http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/.
Driving back roads leads to an interest in the varieties of breeds of sheep also, and goats. We are too accustomed to Holsteins. See http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/ for the many types of livestock.
There is also a large herd of the highland cattle on Skye.
