Duart Castle - Scotland

I love, love this postcard. Highlander cows are so cute and the castle is great, a very Scottish scenary. 
Many thanks for the card Miguel.

Duart Castle, proudly guards the sea cliffs of the Isle of Mull.  Brought back from ruin in 1911, the Castle treasures 800 years of history of one of Scotland’s oldest Clans, The Maclean’s and its one of the last surviving privately owned Clan Castles in Scotland. - in: https://www.visitscotland.com/info/see-do/duart-castle-p255381
Highland cattle are a Scottish cattle breed. They have long horns and long wavy coats that are coloured black, brindle, red, yellow, white, silver (looks white but with a black nose) or dun, and they are raised primarily for their meat. They originated in the Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland and were first mentioned in the 6th century AD. 
They are a hardy breed due to their native environment, the Highlands of Scotland. This results in long hair, giving the breed its ability to overwinter. - in: wikipedia
