where the weather can't decide and the cattle have better hair than you
means Relating to or denoting mountainous or elevated regions of a country, especially the rugged northern part of Scotland.
from A plain marriage of two old Germanic words: "high" (Old English hēah, lofty) and "land" (ground, country) — literally "high land."
