Achinreir Farm

A delightful hour and a half walk through our beautiful farm, to meet our cows in their natural environment.

On this gentle, peaceful guided walk you will learn about our farm, our cattle and the biodiversity around us. You will experience stunning views over to the Nevis Range, up towards Glencoe and out to Ardnamurchan and Mull and have plenty of opportunities to photograph our beautiful cows and calves..

We will walk across uneven, elevated and sometimes muddy farmland/pasture so stout footwear is needed. As always in Scotland, you should come prepared for changeable weather and maybe midges…

We will take you on an amazing hour and a half slow paced exploration of our regenerative farm, finding clues to who lived here and what they did, from the Middle Ages all the way through to more recent evidence of crofting during the 19th century.

Following a route across the farm and through our small woodland, this experience weaves together mythology, plant lore, ancient customs and stories of those who lived here before us.

You will visit historic sites on the farm while discussing the landscape, and traditional life in these parts.

Our route will cross uneven, elevated and sometimes muddy farmland/pasture so stout footwear is needed. As always in Scotland, you should come prepared for changeable weather and maybe midges…

This is a short quiet half hour walk through our beautiful farm, to meet the cows that are kept in the fields closer to home.

We can get nice and close to the cows and calves, and you’ll learn a bit about how we manage the farm and how our milking regime works, and of course enjoy the beautiful views, and take photographs..

This is an outdoor experience so you must come prepared. We will walk through uneven and sometimes wet and muddy fields so it is essential that waterproof footwear is worn, and as always in Scotland, you we need to be ready for changeable weather - it can often start raining when you least expect it, so bring waterproofs just in case.

In the quiet depths of winter, we invite guest to meet our weaned heifer calves. During these formative weeks, our young heifers live in our shed, becoming independent from their dams and learning some gentle handling.

This intimate visit offers a glimpse into our farming approach - we’ll chat about our husbandry methods and the important part our Highland cattle play in contributing to the conservation of natural habitats and species.

Although this experience is mainly indoors, please dress for an outdoor farm visit.

Discover the full story of Highland Fold - from Highland cattle culture to ice cream.

This experience begins with a half-hour reflective walk & talk offering insights into our regenerative farm and meet some of our Highland Cows.

Learn about the ancient Shieling Culture , and how this inspired our ice cream production. Learn about how we grow and harvest sustainable flavours from all around us, to make our ice cream hand-in-hand with nature.

Then enjoy an Ice Cream Tasting Session in our barn, and have a peek inside our small ice cream ‘factory’.

Although this experience avoids walking over rough farm land, you will still need to have a reasonable level of fitness and wear sturdy shoes and outdoor clothing.
