The moody, romantic Scottish Highlands start at Loch Lomond just north of Glasgow. Comprising a slew of mountain ranges, this sparsely populated land is best seen by train on the West Highland Line. Mountains, lochs, bright heather and rhododendrons give way to white sand beaches and rugged coves as the train nears Mallaig. For a more active take on the region, hike the West Highland Way or visit the Trossachs National Park. Ben Nevis, a popular climbing spot, looms over the town of Fort William.

Everything we read on their website is TRUE, and happened: we attended an amazing demonstration of the shepherd leading the sheep with the help of his dogs, and could participate in shearing a sheep (under Neil’s watchful eye and instructions). He gave plenty of information on his job, and answered any questions the group asked. Then we met the collie pups and the orphan lambs (thanks to Neil’s son for this!), and could buy wee books for the kids: “A visit to Working Sheepdogs”, written and illustrated by Glynis Ross… lovely! Too bad we couldn’t understand almost anything… due to our being foreigners, and to Neil’s strong accent… it was an enjoyable and PRICELESS EXPERIENCE anyway :-D An ADVICE: RE-CHECK THE DEMONSTRATION TIME of your visit! We got there before 4pm, and were told that the on that day, the demonstration was at 5pm… :-o

Currently enjoying our 4th visit to Tulloch Farm (Strath) with our 4 happy dogs! We usually come in January but we're benefiting from a slightly later visit this year as there has already been plenty of snow! We love being on the farm with the horses, goats & chickens, we even saw a big stag from the cottage yesterday morning. Cottages are spacious, homely & perfect for the dogs, it's such a great place for a quiet & peaceful break. Love the fire, gets so hot in the evening that you have to open the doors! Owners are always really helpful & ensure you have everything you need for the perfect holiday. We'll be back again next year! Highly recommend! Thank you! ❤️????

The U.K's most northerly petting farm and farm shop in the Highlands of Scotland! Come meet the donkeys, goats, pigs, rabbits and more! Open every day 10am-6pm
We loved our visit to the farm and to see and feed the animals. All of the animals had plenty of room and seemed very happy! You could tell even after our short time there that some of the animals are right characters! Would highly recommend a visit here. The shop had a great selection of items to buy from fresh fruit and veg to homemade cakes!
