Cattle's vital role in Scottish Gaelic communities is vividly evidenced by their ubiquity in Gaelic cultural expression and well-established interactions such as milking, herding, and seasonal transhumance. However, these pivotal human-animal interactions are largely neglected in 'Improvement' and Highland Clearances scholarship. This adopts a top-down narrative, in which Gaels' 'traditional' way of life was obliterated by vast commercial sheep farms and community displacement. In foregrounding Gaelic voices, my research will challenge these mainstream paradigms and create a new perspective on this critical period of Scottish history by employing ideas from human-animal studies to explore interactions between Gaels and their cattle.

牛在苏格兰盖尔社区中的至关重要的作用是通过无处不在的盖尔文化表达和诸如挤奶，放牧和季节性跨性别的众所周知的互动来生动地证明的。但是，这些关键的人动物相互作用在“改进”和高地清除学术奖学金中很大程度上被忽略了。这采用了自上而下的叙述，其中盖尔斯的“传统”生活方式被庞大的商业绵羊农场和社区流离失所所毁灭。在盖尔语的前景中，我的研究将挑战这些主流范式，并通过采用人类动物研究中的思想来探索盖尔斯与牛之间的互动，从而对苏格兰历史的这个关键时期创造新的看法。
