Highland Cow – Wee Coo – Colorful Print T-Shirt

The single-track road over the Applecross pass, somewhere between the second hairpin and the point of no return. She was standing in the middle of it. Not grazing near it, not crossing it — occupying it, the way a landlady occupies a doorway.

We waited. She chewed. A campervan, two cyclists, and a delivery driver assembled behind us in respectful silence. Her fringe covered both eyes entirely, which raised the question of how she knew we were there at all. She knew. In the Highlands, the coo always knows.

Twenty minutes later she stepped aside with the air of someone granting a favor that would be remembered. This shirt commemorates the negotiation. Garment-dyed, heavyweight, relaxed in fit and in temperament — much like its subject, it improves with weather and refuses to be hurried.
