"Hairy Coos to the right, arr!"

And now, ladies and gentlemen, we've come to the section of this blog where we discuss the most majestic of Scottish beasts: the hairy coo. Ok, so officially they're called highland cows, but that doesn't roll off the tounge as nicely as hairy coo. Below is Hamish, king of the hairy coos. So beloved is he that he has appeared on TV several times, has his own gift shop full of Hamish merchandise, and has several "lady friends."
Look how lovable! Note the massive amount of unruly, reddish hair. I feel your pain, dude.

Martin, the Scottish tour guide, was especially fond of pointing out whenever the bus drove by a field with hairy coos. "Hairy coos on your right, everyone, hairy coos on the right, hairy coooooos!"
Another thing Martin was fond of saying: "Arr!" (yes, like a pirate)
It seems that "Arr!" is a most versatile exclamation. Depending on the circumstances, it can either mean "Heck, yeah!" or "That sucks!"
Lesson 1:
"Would you like to stop for tea and biscuits?" -"Arr!"
"You have to pay to use the toilets." -"Arr!!"
"Hairy coos to the right!" -"Arr!!!"
