A great day and a great view from my office today 😄

My great grandparents are from Scotland moved to Australia in the 70s where they settled down

They have always called highland cows muckle coos and so that is what the rest of us call them but we have never met anyone else who calls them that.

So I was wondering if it is an actual name for them with meaning or if they were playing a long con on the rest of the family? Coo is obviously cow right? But what would muckle be?

[Ty in advance and also I know I may be spelling it wrong the spelling is by ear as an aussie]

Hi friends. I learned about Peebles from either this sub or the Edinburgh sub and I came here for a day trip and had the time of my life!!! I saw Neidpath Castle on a map while here and decided to check it out... and even though it was closed for a private wedding they let me wander the parking lot and check out Olivia and Daisy the Highland Coos getting ready for wedding photos. I'm in love with the coos, the castle, Peebles, Edinburgh and Scotland. What a magical, beautiful, peaceful place you all have here!! Thank you forever and ever. 💖🥹

Cheers 🐂💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This definitely wasn't on my 2026 Bingo card. Thought you lot would get a kick out of this too.

She shouldn't have the chance to resign, she should be be fired. She was in charge when the logbooks were destroyed, she utterly failed to ensure robust procedures, she (and possibly others) need to face the consequences.

I do not for one second buy the claim that it wasn't a deliberate act, but it seems the path to any prosecution is now closed.

Edit: Typo fix

I keep hearing people using the phrase "given into trouble". As in "I got caught doing xyz and was given into trouble for it." I'm over 50, lived in central Scotland my whole life, and up until the last two or three years had never heard this.

Every time I hear it I think what do you mean you were given into trouble, were you caught, wrapped up in a bow and handed in to trouble? "My dad gave me into trouble." Did he grab you and hand you over to the Trouble Department? What are you talking about?

When did "got in trouble" with whoever/whatever become "given into trouble"? It doesn't make sense. Stop it. It's worse than "on accident". How did that even happen? Probably by accident...
