Cheviot Sheep are Scottish breed of white-faced sheep from the Cheviot Hills near the borer of Scotland and England.

The Cheviot Sheep are first recorded as being seen north of the Scottish Borders, in the Cheviot Hills. The breed was not the same then as it is now, having been steadily improved and interbred over the years, to the animal we would see today. It is known that since 1470, the breed was referred to by some as the Long Sheep. Other references to the animal name it the White Sheep, in contrast to the Scottish Blackface breed. The name Cheviot was not attributed to the breed until the 1700s, when Sir John Sinclair chose the breed to use as repopulation stock in North Scotland. Though the same breed, without the name, was worked on by James Robson, an English farmer. He used some Cheviot Sheep stock in an attempt to improve wool yields on other breeds. His success helped spread the use of the Cheviot Sheep outside of the Scottish Borders, and even the United Kingdom.

Cheviot Sheep have a bulky fleece, with pricked ears and a bare face. Their Constitution makes them a well developed and hardy mountain breed. They are a medium sized breed of sheep, with rams weighing 80 kilograms and ewes typically being half of that. The fleece of the Cheviot Sheep is considered to be ideal for making tweed cloth.

The West Highland Terrier is a breed of dog for the Scottish Highlands, it is widely recognized for its distinctive white coat.

The West Highland Terrier was initially called the Poltalloch terrier. It received the name in honor of the estate in Argyle, Scotland, where it was bred by Colonel Edward Donald Malcolm. The common origin story behind the breed is that the Colonel had a red coated terrier that he used for hunting. This dog was one day shot after it was mistaken for the fox that it was perusing. In order to avoid such a mistake again, the Colonel bred a white breed which was eventually established as the West Highland Terrier. The breed was essentially set by the 1900s and was imported for the first time into the United States in the early 1900s.

Now that the West Highland Terrier breed is established, it has standards guiding its ideal size and shape. Typically, the breed will be 5.9 to 7.3 kilograms in weight. The dog's height at the shoulder blades would be 23 to 28 centimeters. Ideally they will have deep chest, muscular limbs, and relatively large skulls and a "carrot shaped" tail.

The coat of the West Highland Terrier is white, with a soft, but dense undercoat and a coarse outer coat. It is not uncommon though to see a West Highland Terrier without a coarse outer coat but a second silky coat, or wheaten colored tipping to its coat.

The North Rolandsay Sheep are a Scottish breed of sheep who are known for having diets consisting mainly of seaweed.

The North Rolandsay Sheep resides on North Rolandsay, the northernmost island in the Orkney Island of Scotland. The breed itself is part of the Northern European Short-tailed Sheep, and shares many physical characteristics with other such breeds.

Remains of the North Rolandsay Sheep having been found in Skara Brae, dating back to the Bronze Age. Inspection of the bones, and comparison tot he modern animal show that the breed is relatively unchanged since then. The North Rolandsay Sheep is still small boned. The head of the animal is still relatively small and the face of the "ewe" is dished. As do all sheep of the type, the North Rolandsay Sheep has short-thin tails. The rams have horns and while the ewes can have horns, this is no way guaranteed.

The North Rolandsay Sheep is unique in that they have adapted to the living conditions of their island. Their stomachs have adapted to processing seaweed, which makes up the majority of their diet. Further, while most sheep graze during the day and rest at night, the North Rolandsay Sheep graze at low tide, resting at high tide.

The North Rolandsay Sheep breed is kept primarily for its wool. As the breed has no particular set color and can range heavily from one animal to the next, it has become very popular with crafters. It has also been found that due to their slow maturation the meet of the animal can be rather pleasant.

The Cairn Terrier is a breed of terrier from Scotland.

The Cairn Terrier is commonly believed to be one of the oldest working breeds of dog in Scotland. Typically the Cairn Terrier would be used almost like a cat in a house, as it would often search out and hunt down rats, vermin and rabbits. The breed would often search among man made piles of rock, called cairns, for vermin and other prey.

Though, despite the obvious connection, the Cairn Terrier is not named so after its habit of hunting amongst cairns, though that was a factor. The dog was brought to shows in the United Kingdom in 1909. The breed was named Short-Haired Skye Terrier, breeders of the Skye Terrier objected to this. The Cairn Terrier came to be a compromise in the naming.

The Cairn Terrier weighs 6 to 8 kilograms. It stands at 10 to 14 inches at its shoulder blades. The coat of the dog is in check with its Scottish background. The outer coat is harsh and weather-resistant. The undercoat is soft and dense. By standards, the Cairn Terrier can be cream, wheaten, sandy, or grey in color. Pure colors like black or white are not accepted. The dog can be stripped with any combination of these colors. One interesting feature of the coat is that the stripes do change over the lifetime of the dog, it is not uncommon to see a dog with white fur in its old age.

As the Shetland Sheep was raised in the Shetland Isles, and subsequently adapted to living in such conditions. They are smaller than typical sheep, but this is overcome by their hardy qualities.
