Highland cows break out of city park

30 July 2011 Last updated at 16:02 GMT Efforts have been taking place to round up a fold of Highland cows which broke out of a country park in Glasgow.

Reports of the roaming cattle came in to police at about 10:10 after the six cows and a bull were spotted in parts of the south side of the city.

They had escaped from their home in Pollok Park and some made it as far as Battlefield, more than a mile away.

Park rangers have been involved in capturing the animals, which have caused damage to a number of cars.

Pollok Country Park houses Glasgow City Council's pedigree fold of Highland Cattle.

The original owners of the land, the Maxwell Family, bred prizewinning cattle there in the early 19th Century.
