The Turra Coo
This unusual statue of a cow in Turriff's High Street commemorates a Mr Robert Paterson, a local farmer who refused to pay the new national insurance stamp in 1913. As a result a cow was taken from him and an attempt was made to auction it at Turriff. However, there was a riot in support of the farmer, and in the confusion the cow managed to escape. It was eventually recaptured and sent to Aberdeen for auction there. However, a group of Turriff farmers got together and bought the cow, returning it to its former owner. The cow was then led in a triumphal procession of 4,000 people through the streets of the town.

Adjacent rival banks on Turriff High Street. At least Turriff still has (in 2017) branches of the major banks.

Turra Coo
The statue installed in 2000 recalls an event in 1913 on a farm near Turriff when a reactionary local landowner refused to pay national insurance contributions (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Insurance_Act_1911 ) for his tenants. The brutal social struggle of those days seems to be forgotten and the Coo is a tourist attraction.

The Turra Coo
The Turra Coo (Doric for "the Turriff Cow") was a white Ayrshire-Shorthorn cross dairy cow which lived near the Aberdeenshire town of Turriff in north-east Scotland in the early twentieth century. The cow became famous following a dispute between her owner, supported by local people, against the government over taxes and compulsory national insurance.
