Sports Your Go Rural
The number of Scottish agritourism businesses offering on farm activities is growing all the time and the type of activity is not always what you might expect!
Sometimes, 'a nice country walk' is all we need to blow the cobwebs away but if you really want to spend a day in the great outdoors, soaking up the scenery and breathing fresh air, there's so much more you can do.
Of course, there's horse riding and there are agritourism businesses where you can even take your own horse to stay, and there are water sports; from stand up paddle boarding, to motor boats and kayaking.
The less adrenaline fuelled farm visitor can enjoy cooking classes, yoga or a gentle swim and oh, anyone for tennis? Because you can have a game, set and match when you go rural!
Errington Cheese, Lanark
MEET THE CAIRNS
Errington Cheese began in the early 1980s when Humphrey Errington revised the ancient art of sheep-milking in the Upper Clyde area. Walston Braehead Farm lies at the foot of the Pentland Hills in South Lanarkshire where the family now keep around 300 dairy Lacaune ewes and 100 goats.
The company now produces ten - multi-award-winning - cheeses using goat and sheep’s milk, as well as some cow’s milk cheeses made when sheep milk production falls away in the winter time.
The cheeses are sold online, at farmers’ markets, artisan shops and farmshops UK-wide. Errington cheese is also supplied to many restaurants and cafés. Visitors are welcome to tour the farm.
