高地牛英语:Highland cattlekyloe苏格兰盖尔语:Bò Ghàidhealach)是一种原产于苏格兰高地的家牛品种,以长毛和长角为特征。有红、黑、黄、暗褐、杂色等颜色。

目前在北美洲、澳洲等地皆有饲育。


高地牛是很早就有的一种牛,人们几百年前就发现牠的踪迹了。据科学家推测,当时冰河世纪还没结束,欧洲野牛跨过大陆桥,来到英国的土地,随后冰川融化,海平面上升,它们再也无法回到欧洲大陆。在艾尔郡和伯威克夏的泥炭中,不少欧洲野牛的化石重见天日,它们的身材非常魁梧,比现在的高地牛高出6英尺。随着狩猎的加剧和栖息地的丧失,这些野牛被迫向大不列颠岛边远的北部和西部地区迁徙。而人类在猎杀它们的同时,也慢慢驯化它们。

Highland cattle (Scottish Gaelic:Bò Ghàidhealach; Scots:Heilan coo) 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. The first herd book described two distinct types of Highland cattle but, due to crossbreeding between the two, only one type now exists and is registered. They have since been exported worldwide.
