Affectionately known as Maisie and Ishbel, the calves are the first purebred Highland cattle to be born at the National Museum of Rural Life.

Highland cow calves have been born at the National Museum of Rural Life on the outskirts of East Kilbride. They can be visited at the Museum's historic working farm alongside their mums Ceo and Airgead, dad Lewis, rare-breed Tamworth pigs, this year’s new lambs, hens and cockerel Russell.

Visitors can also see Anna and Gina, the Museum’s two magnificent Clydesdale horses, and can enjoy watching the milking of the Ayrshire dairy herd at 3.15pm each afternoon.
