We can’t help notice that Highland Cow teddies are everywhere at the moment. From Instagram feeds to nursery shelves, Highland cow teddies are having a serious moment in the sunshine.
It’s not hard to see why Highland Cows are flavour of the month. These plush, long-haired cuties have always been popular and a cute emblem of Scotland around the world. But why has their popularity grown so much this year? This is what we think is driving the Highland cow teddy trend.
- Aesthetic Meets Comfort
Supposedly in 2025, we’ve been told that it’s the time for cozy minimalism.
This is a home trend that favours calming and soft-toned colours and a tactile approach to decor.
Highland cow teddies, with their warm neutrals and fluffy textures, fit perfectly into this aesthetic and look particularly fabulous on Instagram nursery ideas.
- Popularity of Scottish Culture
It started with Outlander, Da Vinci Code and Brave and continued with Harry Potter and The Crown but Scotland and in particular the Highlands with its ancient castles and wild landscape have become increasingly popular as a tourist destination. Famous Scottish attractions include the Glenfinnan Viaduct which is associated with the Hogwarts Express to Douane Castle from Outlander and Game of Thrones and Rosslyn Chapel which appears in the DaVinci Code
The Highland Cows are an intrinsic part of this popularity as symbols of the Highlands and Highland life.
- They’re Just Really Cute

In internet-speak, floof is an affectionate term used to describe animals or teddies with extra-fluffy, soft, and adorable cuddliness.
