An imposing Scottish Highlander stands alone on the Hijkerveld, a vast nature reserve in Drenthe. The sculpture captures the strength and tranquillity of this robust animal, which, with its large horns and characteristic fur, is a beautiful sight in the landscape.
Hijkerveld is one of the largest wet heathlands in Drenthe and an important site for nature management and biodiversity. The Highlanders play an essential role in this management: they keep the vegetation in balance and ensure that the heath remains open and lively.
