STUDENT vet Tessa Wilson, left, and stockwoman Mel Sinclair get up close with Highland cow Maisie and her calf at Pollok Family Day and Highland Cattle Show 2014.

The free event at Pollok Country Park featured a host of entertainment acts, displays and activities for families in the park's extensive woodlands and picturesque gardens.

The park gives Glasgow's residents the chance to sample a taste of rural life without leaving the city boundaries and offers a relaxed, family day out.
