holiday cottages in the heart of Scotland...

The Farm

The 710 acre Farm is a traditional mixed arable and stock farm which, during different seasons, has cattle, sheep, and horses grazing in the grass fields.  We make our own hay and silage for the stock in the Winter.  We harvest barley for the Scotch Whisky industry.

Walks, Picnics, Bird Watching and Photography

There are over 5 miles of different walks on the farm with pretty picnic spots to be found.  In our 40 acres of Cross Country wooded parkland there are deer, pheasants and usually a pair of herons.  One keen guest got up at 5.00 am to study the bird life and logged 28 different species in 3 hours.  In the same area there are over 120 cross country jumping options where we train our horses.  We can help you find 100 other walks in the hills or by river banks within 30 minutes drive.
