Scottish Reindeer (Caringorm Mountains, Scotland)

My niece works as a reindeer herder in the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland. This is a photo of some of the mothers and calves being herded up to higher ground, where they will spend the summer months. Reindeer were re-introduced to Scotland from Sweden in 1952 and there is now quite a large herd. They are very friendly and docile animals and very popular with visitors.
