Two shaggy Highland calves named Eigg and Muck have trotted into the spotlight at Scotland’s National Museum of Rural Life, arriving just in time to help the attraction celebrate its 25th anniversary this summer.
The handsome pair, both boys, take their names, Eigg and Muck, from the Scottish islands, continuing a family theme that started with their dad, Lewis.

Visitors can meet the new arrivals at the museum’s historic working farm near East Kilbride, where they are settling in alongside their mums, Ceo and Airgead, their older brother and sisters, rare-breed Tamworth pigs, this year’s new lambs, and much-loved Clydesdale horses Anna and Gina.
The National Museum of Rural Life, which opened in July 2001, tells the story of the land, people and traditions that have shaped Scotland’s countryside, from farming and food to rural crafts and technology.
Formerly known as the Museum of Scottish Country Life, it is based at Wester Kittochside farm between East Kilbride and Carmunnock and is run by National Museums Scotland.
