Wow just wow. This is a must no matter how old you are. We are a couple and loved this experience. We took 2 alpacas on a walk for 20/30 minutes then came back to feed them all. They have a 7 week old called Barnaby that is just the Cutest as well. Then you make a great wee craft alpaca from the fur. The enthusiasm and love for these animals really comes across and you can see they are so well looked after. Already looking forward to coming back again.

Great for walks. For a long stretch along the beach, a quick walk with the dog or just a wee stop off to have picnic and relax. The area is lovely and very large so there can be many visitors and you can still be far away from the nearest person. 100% worth a visit.
3. Arbroath Abbey
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 401 reviews
The abbey is closed for now, but you can view the iconic grounds and exterior. Arbroath Abbey is a testament to the dynamic piety of Scotland’s medieval monarchs. It was founded in 1178 by King William I ‘the Lion’ as a memorial to his childhood friend Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was murdered in 1170.

I always enjoy visiting ruins - abbey, castle, cathedral, etc. I find it fascinating to take photos of the ruins and to imagine what life was like inside and outside of the building in its day. Arbroath Abbey does not disappoint and there are Historical Scotland workers who are happy to share information with you. Being on the Historical Scotland registry it is free to pass holders and definitely worth a visit. Nice little gift shop with some beautiful HeatherGem pieces, and of course a toilet. Allow an hour or so to visit.

The only thing I knew about Abroath was that I love Smokies - and visiting thier home we just decided to pop in here ( to avoid the rain to be honest). Welcomed by a friendly enthousiastic volunteer who pointed out the Bell Rock on the horizon - had not even heard of it before....why ? Absolutely loved our trip to this museum, we stayed well over an hour. The film was a fantastic introduction, and the exhibits brought the whole history to life. Have even done a little further research on Rock Lighouses since we returned home - its an utterly fascinating aspect of history I had never previously considered. Added to that the Museum building is a Georgian gem and has an interesting history of its own. Its free - unbelievable !

Wow, this place is great, what a fabulous way to visit. It’s very comfortable and quirky which adds to the whole experience. I have been twice in the past week and would definitely recommend everyone to go along and enjoy the new experience it has to offer. Not only that it’s better priced than any other cinema I have been to. Lovely friendly staff and even has a great restaurant attached. Perfect for a good day or night out.
