Handmade framed highland cow pictures, with a raised relief Heilan Coo gilded over a deep black background, made to order in the UK from £39.99 with free tracked UK delivery.
JP Designs is a UK studio specialising in handmade framed gold and silver leaf wall art, and our highland cow wall art is one of our most loved designs. Each highland cow is sculpted in raised 3D relief, gilded by hand in gold or silver leaf against a deep black background, and framed with a glass front, so the shaggy coat and gentle face catch the light and stand off the wall.
Because every piece is made to order in our own workshop, by a Crafts Council member, no two highland cow pictures are quite identical. It is a warm, hand-finished alternative to a mass produced print, whether you are buying highland cow art for your own home or as a gift for someone who loves the Heilan Coo.

The highland cow, the Heilan Coo, is one of Scotland's best loved icons. With its long horns, shaggy coat and calm, gentle expression, it stands for resilience, warmth and a kind of rugged charm that people find genuinely endearing. That mix of toughness and softness is exactly why a highland cow gift feels so personal.
A piece of highland cow wall art makes a thoughtful present for a new home, a housewarming, a wedding or a milestone birthday, and it is a lovely taste of home for anyone with Scottish roots living away. Because we never include the price in the parcel, it arrives ready to give. Browse more ideas on our gifts by occasion page.
Every highland cow comes in two finishes. Gold leaf gives a warm, classic glow that suits farmhouse, country and traditional rooms, and pairs beautifully with wood, neutral tones and rustic textures. Silver leaf feels cooler and more contemporary, sitting well in modern-rustic, monochrome and grey interiors. A simple tip is to match the finish to the metals already in the room, the taps, handles and lighting. For help choosing, see our gold vs silver leaf finish guide.
There are a few ways to bring the Heilan Coo home. The full body highland cow is our classic statement piece, perfect on its own above a sofa, in a hallway or in an alcove. The highland cow head is a closer, characterful portrait that works beautifully as a single accent. For a real focal point, the trio set brings together the full body, the head and our quirky chef cow, ideal grouped above a sofa or sideboard. You can see all four on our highland cow wall art collection, or explore more animals on our animal and nature art collection.
Our highland cow pictures are not flat prints or canvases. Each one is sculpted in raised 3D relief and gilded by hand, then framed behind glass, so the coat, horns and face have real depth and catch the light as you move around the room. It is a more tactile, hand-finished piece than a printed poster or stretched canvas. To see how the relief is built up, read our short guide on what 3D relief wall art is.
For an extra £4.99 you can personalise your highland cow with a name, such as a family name or a house or farm name, making it a heartfelt Scottish and heritage gift. It is a popular touch for new home and wedding presents, turning a beautiful piece into something truly one of a kind. We can also create fully bespoke pieces, so do see our custom commissions page if you have something special in mind.

Yes. A handmade highland cow gift suits farmhouse, country and modern-rustic homes and makes a lovely present for a new home, a wedding or a milestone birthday. It is also a thoughtful taste of home for anyone with Scottish roots, and we never include the price in the parcel so it can be sent straight as a gift.
Both finishes look beautiful. Gold leaf gives a warm, classic glow that suits farmhouse and country rooms, while silver leaf feels cooler and more contemporary for modern-rustic and monochrome interiors. A simple tip is to match the finish to the metals already in the room, such as the taps, handles and lighting.
It depends on your wall. A single highland cow, whether the full body or the head portrait, makes a lovely statement in a hallway, alcove or above a fireplace. The trio set, which brings together the full body, the head and the chef cow, is ideal grouped above a sofa or sideboard where you want a real focal point.
