Q: What do you call a scottish highlander with four sheep ?
A: A pimp.
Actually the ones tending the sheep and long haired cattle were typically girls.
I was born and raised in a county in Florida which was settled by Highland Scots mainly from the Western Islands.
In 1960, by a large majority most of the people in Walton County had Scottish surnames. They must have been attractive people as my high school was absolutely over run with beautiful girls.
