Visitor Experiences
Hear from our happy visitors
We had a great visit to Craigbank Farm to see the new lambs , and learned loads about the ups and downs about lambing season, and all the hard work to keep Mums and baby lambs safe and healthy.
It was such a family friendly place to visit, I would definitely recommend.
Grace
My daughter and I loved visiting your farm last year. Abbey loved feeding the lambs by bottle and being able to be so close to them in the wee enclosure.
She has a love of Highland Cows so it was an extra bonus seeing them in the field on the drive into the farm!
Dawn
I was at Shona and Craig’s farm last year with my boys. They loved it and especially feeding the lambs. The lambs were super friendly, and they had a great time exploring the farm and meeting the chickens and other animals.
