"Hamish"
Im from liverpool but now live in glasgow, but its not as simple as that.
Ive lived here now 33 years, and i love scotland. Not far from my home the village of callender stands between lochs and glens.
Just outside callender was the first time i set eyes on "Hamish".
He stood in the field beside the woollenmill of kilmahog, rusty coloured with massive horns,
Fearsome to see ,funny face and the nature of a pussycat.hamish was a highland cow.
I say was because he sadly passed away aged 23 years, they normaly live till 13 so the boy did well
If you google him he had his own facebook page lol.
When hamish died it hit the national press and locals , tourist alike mourned his loss myself included i often stopped and had a chat much to the amusement of the coachtours taking selfies
Hamishes pen lays empty now but i still stop and reflect how life moves on often with i wee tear, i was fond of hamish more than some humans i know , so when i purchased my hymer there was only one name it could be, theres an image of hamish on the back too.
So the question is where did humberto, helen helga or your mohos name come from?
Its sounds bonkers but i write this with a tear in my eye and today will drive home past Hamishes pen.
